Confluent announces the Connect with Confluent technology partner program

Confluent has announced the Connect with Confluent technology partner program. The program enables partners to bring fully managed data streams directly to their customers through native integrations with Confluent Cloud. It also provides access to Confluent’s leading expertise for technical, sales, and marketing support to amplify go-to-market efforts and ensure customer success at every stage. By joining the program, partners tap into an ecosystem of technologies fuelled by data streams and unlock massive potential for what’s possible on their platforms. 
 

“When companies can harness streams of real-time data from previously siloed teams and applications across their business, it creates a powerful network effect that opens new avenues for growth and innovation,” Erica Schultz, President of Field Operations, Confluent. “As technology partners bring Confluent data streams directly into their platforms, they unlock potential for more cutting edge, real-time applications to be developed on their platform.” 

This program is launching with support from many Confluent technology partners, including Arcion, AWS Lambda, Clickhouse, Elastic, Google Cloud, HiveMQ, Imply, Materialize, MongoDB, Onehouse, Precisely, Qlik, Quix, Rockset, Startree, Tinybird, and Waterstream.

Through a single, native integration with Confluent Cloud, Confluent’s technology partners provide customers with the best experience for working with data streams from across their entire business. Confluent Cloud provides access to more than an exabyte of data processed per year, eliminates the operational shortcomings of an open source integration and accelerates project delivery times for customers. It delivers fully managed stream processing, enterprise-grade security controls, the industry’s only governance suite for Kafka, and more. And it’s all available wherever customers’ data may reside—in the cloud, across clouds, or on premises. Technology partner benefits include -
