The latest development in Confluent Cloud is the availability of Data Portal, a developer-friendly, self-service UI that provides an easy and curated way for users to find, understand, and enrich their Kafka data streams. This tool leverages Stream Governance capabilities to empower data users to interact with their organization's Kafka data streams safely, efficiently, and collaboratively. With Data Portal, users can search and discover existing topics, request access to topics through an approval workflow, set up clients and query data with Apache Flink, and streamline access request management. The tool aims to simplify data governance initiatives by providing a user-friendly interface for managing the availability, integrity, and security of data used across an organization.
