Confluent, the leading data streaming platform to set data in motion, recently announced a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS.
Under this five-year agreement, Confluent and AWS have committed to joint go-to-market initiatives to help organizations accelerate their cloud adoption journey with real-time data.
Companies are looking to accelerate digital initiatives and lower operational costs as they transition to the cloud. For these projects to be successful, organizations need a cloud-native platform for data in motion. Data infrastructure can collect and process a continuous flow of data from any source across the company, helping teams use the relevant data for faster innovation. The deepened relationship between Confluent and AWS will help organizations power their AWS services with real-time data to unlock rich customer experiences and improve backend operations.
Confluent Cloud is available in AWS Marketplace and runs on AWS to unify management, security, and billing. This lets companies migrate and connect data in real-time to services including Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Redshift, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Lambda, and more with 120+ pre-built connectors so enterprises can migrate and modernize data platforms more easily. Built on Apache Kafka®’s open source foundation, Confluent Cloud’s fully managed service completes the open source project and makes it easier to adopt data streaming, reducing time to market and helping engineers spend more time focusing on projects that differentiate their business.

At the same time, they have more data than ever and it is spread across every facet of their business. Through our collaboration with AWS - which is significantly enhanced through this new agreement - we’re making it easier for customers to unlock data in motion everywhere so they can build real-time applications that enable analytical and operational workloads, across cloud and hybrid environments.
Stephen Orban, GM, AWS Marketplace and Control Services, AWS
The strength of our collaboration with Confluent is amplified by our focus on jointly working backwards from customer needs. Our expanded strategic collaboration allows customers to migrate real-time streaming data workloads to the cloud faster with Confluent Cloud on AWS.
