Introducing Confluent Platform 7.5

Confluent Platform 7.5 introduces several enhancements aimed at improving security, developer efficiency, and disaster recovery. The update includes single sign-on (SSO) for Control Center, allowing seamless integration with identity providers like OpenID Connect for improved security compliance and user management. The REST Proxy Produce API v3 simplifies data access and integration, enabling users to interact with the Confluent Platform through REST calls in their preferred programming languages without deep knowledge of Kafka. Furthermore, the platform enhances disaster recovery capabilities through bidirectional Cluster Linking, allowing active-active and active-passive architectures with efficient data replication and consumer offset management. Additional features include FIPS support for enhanced security compliance and improvements in deploying and managing connectors using Confluent for Kubernetes. Built on Apache Kafka 3.5, the platform offers a comprehensive solution for handling data in motion with cloud-native capabilities.
