Cloud computing is driving innovation in companies worldwide, with the explosion of event generation from internal systems leading to the adoption of Apache Kafka as a backbone for data storage and delivery. Companies need solutions that can handle large amounts of unstructured data, process events in real-time, and deliver data to multiple applications concurrently and reliably. CloudBank, a company that created core banking software Genesis, faced challenges in deploying Apache Kafka in the cloud due to its complexity and lack of multi-cloud support. After evaluating options, they turned to Confluent Cloud, a fully managed event streaming data service based on Apache Kafka, which provided them with a reliable and scalable solution for their business needs, allowing them to focus on innovating while Confluent took care of the Kafka clusters.
