New Confluent Cloud capabilities simplify data management

Data streaming company Confluent today announced new features being added to Confluent Cloud geared at ensuring data is trustworthy, easily processed, and securely shared. 

Among these features is an extension of the Stream Governance suite, Data Quality Rules. With this, users can remediate any data quality issues so that their data can be relied on to make business-critical decisions.

Furthermore, the new Custom Connectors, Stream Sharing, the Kora Engine, and early access program for managed Apache Flink are intended to help companies gain insights from their data on a single platform in order to cut back on operational burdens and improve performance.

“Real-time data is the lifeblood of every organization, but it’s extremely challenging to manage data coming from different sources in real time and guarantee that it’s trustworthy,” said Shaun Clowes, chief product officer at Confluent. “As a result, many organizations build a patchwork of solutions plagued with silos and business inefficiencies. Confluent Cloud’s new capabilities fix these issues by providing an easy path to ensuring trusted data can be shared with the right people in the right formats.”

Data Quality Rules also allows for schemas that are stored in Schema Registry to be augmented with multiple types of rules so that teams can improve data integrity, resolve quality issues quickly, and simplify schema evolution.

Custom Connectors also make it so that any Kafka connector can run on Confluent Cloud without the need for infrastructure management. 

With this, teams can connect to any data system through their own Kafka Connect plugins without any code changes, gain high availability and performance through the monitoring of the health of team’s connectors and workers, and decrease the operational burden of managing low-level connector infrastructure.

Lastly, Confluent’s Stream Sharing allows teams to easily share data with enterprise-grade security. With this, users can exchange real-time data with any Kafka client; share and protect their own data with authenticated sharing, access management, and layer encryption controls; and improve the quality and compatibility of shared data with consistent schemas across users, teams, and organizations.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
