Cluster Interview: Serving relevant recommendations on the go with Aiven for Apache Kafka®

4.screen is a fast-growing startup from Munich, Germany that has built the world's first driver interaction platform powered by Aiven for Apache Kafka®. The company is part of Aiven's Cluster program, which provides up to $100,000 in credits for Aiven services. 4.screen chose managed data services over managing infrastructure in-house due to the need to scale and iterate quickly. They found a great match with Aiven, which offers comprehensive and reliable Kafka hosting and management solutions that allow them to focus on their product and customers without getting bogged down by complexities of managing Kafka themselves. The company uses Aiven for Redis® for managing hot data and sees eye-to-eye with Aiven in terms of open source standards, seamless integration with major cloud providers, and the importance of infrastructure as code.
