Celebrating Over 100 Supported Apache Kafka Connectors

Confluent has released its most significant update yet, Confluent Platform 5.4, which includes features such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Structured Audit Logs, Multi-Region Clusters, and Schema Validation to help enterprises take Apache Kafka® and event streaming into production. The company has also reached over 100 supported connectors for getting data in and out of Kafka, with most developed by Confluent and some by technology partners. These connectors are verified through a program for independent software vendors (ISVs) and partners to ensure interoperability and functionality with Kafka and the Confluent Platform. The company has also revamped its online marketplace, Confluent Hub, to make it easier for users to browse, search, and filter connectors and other plugins based on their data movement needs for Kafka.
