Fast, Frictionless, and Secure Integrations with Confluent’s Connector Portfolio

Connectors integrate Apache Kafka® with external data systems, enabling you to move away from a brittle spaghetti architecture to one that is more streamlined, secure, and future-proof. However, if your team still spends multiple dev cycles building and managing connectors using just open source Kafka Connect, it’s time to consider a faster and cost-effective alternative. Confluent provides a rich ecosystem of over 120 pre-built connectors created by Kafka experts so that you don’t have to build your own for popular data systems that everyone uses. Over 80 of them are also available as fully managed on Confluent Cloud, making it possible to integrate your data systems in minutes with just a few clicks. For homegrown systems and custom applications, Confluent also offers custom connectors where you can bring your connector plugins while we manage the underlying Connect infrastructure.
