Modernize your Database with Confluent and Google CloudSQL

On-prem databases are slow and rigid, costing businesses money in both upfront and ongoing maintenance costs. That limits the speed at which businesses can scale, experiment, and drive innovation. Today’s organizations need scalable, cloud-native databases for improved agility, elasticity, and cost-efficiency.

However, migrating and modernizing your database can be a long journey that spans multiple teams and batch-based tools. It's highly complex and resource-intensive to load and transform data with low latency. However, modernizing your database doesn’t have to be this much of a headache.

In this demo, we’ll show you how to modernize your database and move to the cloud by connecting multi-cloud and hybrid data to Google Cloud SQL in real time. With Confluent, you can use our cloud-native Apache Kafka-based service to significantly reduce the complexity and cost associated with building real-time applications in the cloud using Google Cloud SQL.

You can expect to learn how to:

• Quickly deploy a Kafka cluster and load it with sample data
• Easily process, merge, and enrich your data using fully managed ksqlDB
• Leverage fully managed connectors to quickly build complete data pipelines for your real-time apps
