The recent release of mutual TLS (mTLS) on Confluent Cloud and Amazon Redshift has made it possible to use materialized views between the two services, significantly boosting performance for complex or frequent queries. Materialized views act as a read-optimized cache of Kafka data, allowing faster query processing time and reduced costs. This setup offers a powerful solution for real-time data ingestion and analysis, particularly beneficial for large-scale applications requiring efficient query handling. Confluent Cloud on AWS Marketplace provides $1,000 in free credits for new sign-ups to explore these features further.
