Technology/Topic: Data Streaming Platform for Government & DoD Mission Readiness
=====================================
Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!
Confluent Platform is a full-scale streaming platform that enables you to easily access, store, and manage data as continuous, real-time streams. Built by the original creator/co-creator of Apache Kafka®, Confluent Platform is an enterprise-ready platform that completes Kafka with advanced capabilities designed to help accelerate application development and connectivity. Confluent Platform enables transformations through stream processing, simplifies enterprise operations at scale, and meets stringent architectural requirements.
Confluent Platform is software you download and manage yourself. Any Kafka use cases are also Confluent Platform use cases. Confluent Platform is a specialized distribution of Kafka that includes additional features and APIs. Many of the commercial Confluent Platform features are built into Kafka brokers as a function of Confluent Server. By integrating historical and real-time data into a single, central source of truth, Confluent makes it easy to build an entirely new category of modern, event-driven applications, gain a universal data pipeline, and unlock powerful new use cases with full scalability, performance, and reliability.
You can use Kafka to collect user activity data, system logs, application metrics, stock ticker data, and device instrumentation signals. Regardless of the use case, Confluent Platform lets you focus on how to derive business value from your data rather than worrying about the underlying mechanics, such as how data is being transported or integrated between disparate systems. Specifically, Confluent Platform simplifies connecting data sources to Kafka, building streaming applications, as well as securing, monitoring, and managing your Kafka infrastructure.
Designed for the public sector, Confluent Cloud for Government is FedRAMP Ready, offering secure, scalable, and resilient streaming, governance, and compliance capabilities for defense and federal missions.
From Navy logistics to JADC2 and edge/AI use cases, Confluent serves as the connective tissue—from legacy systems to real-time decision-making—unlocking new value in logistics, situational awareness, and zero-trust security.
