Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion. Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square?

With Confluent, organizations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.
