Best and most robust data streaming platform!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We needed a data streaming platform to support real time data ingestion to our data lake environment. This real time data supported client facing in store and digital use cases for sub second api call classification or product promotions. As well, we looked for a partner who could replace our current technology on Azure and Confluent was able to do so at a global enterprise level.
Pros
- Streaming real time transactional data to cloud storage locations
- Data streaming transformation reducing compute expenses on lake and warehouse environments
- Transfer large size data segments
Cons
- Cloud based Azure platform features for Confluent lacks behind AWS And GCP
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have a need to stream data, real time or segmented structured data then Confluent is a great platform to do so with. You won't run into packet transfer size limitations that other platforms have. Flexibility in on-prem, cloud, and managed cloud offerings makes it very flexible no matter how you choose to implement.
