Vantage Launches Support for Confluent Costs

Vantage has announced the integration of Confluent costs into its platform, allowing users to view and manage their Confluent expenses alongside other cloud infrastructure costs. This feature enables Vantage customers to add multiple Confluent organizations through the Integrations page, where costs are automatically ingested and visualized, simplifying financial operations by consolidating cost data from various providers like AWS, Azure, and Confluent. Confluent, known for its real-time data streaming services based on Apache Kafka, can have costs that escalate with increased data throughput, making this integration beneficial for users needing comprehensive cost visibility. Utilizing the Confluent Costs API, Vantage can securely access billing data, presenting costs with specific filters for services, cost categories, resources, and organizations, which helps users see combined application deployment costs in one view. This integration is available for all Vantage users, including those on the free tier, and supports multiple organization integrations, with daily data refreshes to ensure up-to-date cost insights.
