Confluent Platform 2.0 is GA!

The Confluent Platform 2.0 is now available, offering a centralized stream data platform for organizations that want to build streaming data pipelines around Apache Kafka. It includes new features such as multi-tenant support, data flow from existing systems to Kafka, and improved security capabilities including client authentication, user-defined quotas, and encryption of network connections. The release also introduces Kafka Connect, a tool for large-scale real-time data import and export between Kafka and various other systems. Additionally, Confluent Platform 2.0 includes open-source connectors for log files, relational databases, and Hadoop, as well as fully-featured native Java producer and consumer clients with feature and API parity to Apache Kafka 0.9 Java clients.
