Confluent continues to innovate and expand its capabilities, having grown from an idea into an industry pioneer in just four years. The company's vision of event streaming as a backbone of modern applications has gained traction among over 60% of the Fortune 100 companies, with many adopting this paradigm shift. Confluent's KSQL tool has become one of the most popular tools in the Kafka ecosystem, and the company is now announcing its partnership with PipelineDB to further enhance its capabilities. This partnership brings together two teams sharing a vision of a future powered by event streaming, and will help complete the event streaming platform journey started by Confluent years ago. The company's recognition as Microsoft's 2024 OSS on Azure Global Partner of the Year reflects its commitment to delivering outstanding open source-based applications and infrastructure solutions on Microsoft Azure.
