The Q3 '22 Launch of Confluent Cloud brings several key features designed to enhance developer productivity when working with real-time data streams, including the automation of infrastructure management and separation of networking from cluster workflows. The new Terraform provider allows businesses to accelerate development while avoiding operational costs by managing infrastructure through code. This approach gives developers safe, reliable access to infrastructure resources while operators can offload day-to-day provisioning requirements to version-controlled automations. Additionally, Confluent Cloud now offers 70 expert-built connectors ready to launch with just a few clicks, including source connectors for popular data systems like Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3. The platform also includes new user login monitoring to spot potential breaches, flexible topic naming, and improved Cluster Linking capabilities. These features aim to simplify the setup of common use cases and improve the overall developer experience.
