Every company faces the perennial problem of data integration but often experiences data silos, data quality issues, and data loss from point-to-point, batch-based integrations. Connectors decouple data sources and sinks through Apache Kafka, simplifying your architecture while providing flexibility, resiliency, and reliability at a massive scale.

However, building connectors using open-source Kafka Connect alone requires many months of design, building, and testing that takes time and resources away from building out your real-time use cases and applications.
Confluent offers a rich, pre-built ecosystem of 120+ connectors that are built by Kafka experts. Most are also available as fully managed connectors that you can deploy on Confluent Cloud with just a few clicks and enable you to eliminate operational burdens, reduce the risk of downtime, and accelerate your time to value. In this demo, we’ll show how you can quickly and effortlessly deploy an Amazon S3 sink connector for your streaming data pipelines.
