Confluent ksqlDB
Businesses and organizations are increasingly working with streaming, real-time data. Confluent, which markets an event streaming platform for organizing and managing real-time data, was founded by the developers of the Apache Kafka stream processing technology upon which the Confluent system is built.
In November, Confluent launched ksqlDB, an event streaming database that’s purpose-built for developers to create applications that take advantage of Kafka’s stream processing capabilities. The database, according to Confluent, simplifies the application architecture needed to build event streaming, real-time applications. The ksqlDB database uses pull queries and embedded connectors to accelerate application development.
