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.
