Reliable Apache Kafka^® with Confluent

Problem: Kafka is a powerful distributed data architecture, but it is incredibly complex to keep clusters running at peak capacity and ensure data availability. Developers and other key resources often get pulled off their projects to deal with scalability or availability issues. Provisioning Confluent allows you to fully offload or drastically reduce Kafka management and keep your key resources focused on projects that drive revenue.

• Completely offload Kafka operations to a fully-managed service that deploys and optimizes Kafka for you, upgrades Kafka and fixes bugs for you, and identifies and resolves issues before they happen

• Keep self-managed Kafka clusters running at peak performance and minimize downtime with automated upgrades and failure recovery with Self Balancing Clusters and Confluent Operator to help.

Problem: Kafka does not have good signalling mechanisms in place to help you find and troubleshoot issues within its ecosystem. It's tough to identify and solve problems that lead to lag, downtime, or data loss which can cause parts of your business to grind to a halt. Confluent Cloud and Platform offer the visibility, durability, and reliability organizations need to ensure event availability.

• Intelligently identify and resolve issues with Proactive Support before they occur with continuous, real-time analysis powered by our extensive library of expert tested rules and algorithms
• Quickly get insights on cluster performance to ensure internal SLAs are met and optimize cluster health with Control Center in Confluent Platform.
• Reduce risk of downtime or data loss to keep events available for developers and apps with Multi-AZ replication in Confluent Cloud.

Problem: Apache Kafka is a complex system that requires a lot of tuning to run at peak performance and expertise to ensure its components are healthy. Supporting Kafka in house can be a massive expense and resource drain and drag out resolution times. Confluent provides committer-led support from the team with more Kafka expertise than anyone that’s powered by our in-depth visibility into real-time health and performance data from our customers.

• Resolve support tickets exponentially faster by providing visibility into key performance and health metrics for Confluent’s Kafka support experts to eliminate manual information sharing processes

• Offload resource intensive Kafka support to the team that wrote 80% of the Kafka commits to resolve issues more quickly and reduce your in-house support costs.
