The Confluent Cloud Q1 ʼ25 launch brings you a game-changing lineup of features to make high-throughput streaming more cost-effective and feeding your data lake easier.

In this demo webinar with Q&A, you’ll learn how to:

• Convert Kafka topics and schemas to open table formats like Iceberg in just a few clicks with Tableflow to feed any data warehouse, data lake, or analytics engine
• Stream high-throughput, latency-insensitive workloads with Freight clusters, a serverless cluster type that enables significantly reduced infrastructure costs
• Stream high-volume data from Oracle databases to Confluent Cloud with Oracle XStream CDC Source connector to unlock the value of operational data
• Easily build Kafka clients and streaming applications with Confluent for VS Code, a developer-friendly extension that integrates Confluent directly into the most used IDE today

Join us to see Tableflow in action—your new best friend for bridging the gap between operational and analytical data. With just a few clicks, you can convert Apache Kafka® data and schemas into Apache Iceberg and Delta tables to fuel your data lakes and warehouses. We’ll also introduce Freight clusters, our new serverless, autoscaling cluster purpose-built for high-throughput, latency-insensitive workloads that helps you save significantly on networking costs.

You will also learn about several exciting new AI features for our serverless Apache Flink® product, including Flink search, Built-In ML Functions, and Flink Native Inference. We’re also releasing a developer-friendly Confluent for VS Code extension, our premium Oracle CDC Source connector, enhancements to our Enterprise clusters, and how we’re extending Cluster Linking everywhere. Finally, we’ll discuss key partner updates, including our extended partnership with Databricks.
