Use GitOps as an efficient CI/CD pipeline for Data Streaming | Data Streaming Systems

Early automation saves time and money. GitOps improves CI/CD pipeline, enhancing operations & traceability. Learn to use GitOps for data streaming platforms & streaming applications with Apache Kafka and Confluent Cloud.

Robust Disaster Recovery with Kafka and Confluent Cloud | Data Streaming Systems

Explore the resilience of Kafka, understand the implications of datacenter disruptions, and mitigate data loss impacts. Learn to scale with Confluent Cloud, cluster and schema linking, and how to use an active/passive disaster recovery pattern for business continuity.

Challenges Using Apache Kafka | Data Streaming Systems

Streaming platforms need key capabilities for smooth operations: data ingestion, development experience, management, security, performance, and maintenance. Self-managed platforms like Apache Kafka can meet these needs, but can be costly and require intensive maintenance. On the other hand, Confluent Cloud offers fully-managed services with features like scalable performance, auto-balancing, tiered storage, and enhanced security and resiliency. It provides systematic updates and maintenance, freeing users from infrastructure concerns. Confluent Cloud streamlines creation of a global, well-governed data streaming platform.
