08 April 2021 - 11:03PM
Business Wire
Today, Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) announced an expanded strategic
partnership with Confluent, Inc. to deliver the best integrated
product experience to the Apache Kafka® and Elasticsearch
community. Through this alliance, Elastic and Confluent will
enhance existing product integrations and jointly develop new
capabilities to help users easily combine the benefits of the
Elastic Stack and Kafka.
Elastic and Confluent plan further enhancements to the product
experience for users by:
- Strengthening the native integration between Elastic Cloud and
Confluent Cloud
- Enriching the Elasticsearch Service Sink Connector in
Confluent
- Developing packaged joint solutions for specific use cases
- Introducing easier ways to output data from Kafka in an Elastic
Common Schema
Building on a solid foundation
The real-time capabilities that Elastic and Confluent currently
deliver through their joint partnership help companies tackle
technical and business challenges as varied as:
- Protecting customer environments from constantly evolving
threats in real time with the flexibility, scalability,
interoperability, and data portability that preemptive threat
mitigation requires
- Delivering faster and more customized search and
recommendations for retail and media consumers
- Improving application and infrastructure performance through
real-time monitoring
- Driving better visibility into real-time user behavior, trends,
and content across business-to-business and business-to-consumer
systems
Elastic has long provided native support for Kafka to help
centralized logging and monitoring customers monitor the health and
performance of their Kafka pipelines in Elasticsearch. In addition,
users have the choice of a jointly built and fully managed
Elasticsearch Service Sink Connector in Confluent Cloud that
eliminates the need for customers to take on the difficult task of
managing their own Kafka clusters. This gives organizations the
ability to seamlessly stream data moving through Kafka into
Elasticsearch on all major cloud providers, including Amazon Web
Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
