We built Kafka at LinkedIn because we needed to process a billion events per day. Nothing else could do it.

Data at rest is history. Data in motion is opportunity. Confluent powers data in motion.

Apache Kafka processes trillions of events daily at companies like Netflix and Goldman Sachs. It started as an internal tool at LinkedIn.

Being better than free is hard. But when free means managing Kafka yourself, our managed service sells itself.

Every company will eventually need real-time data streaming. We're building the infrastructure before the demand peaks.

Open source built our community. The commercial product built our business. Both matter.
