In this episode of Millennium Live, we welcome back Will LaForest, Chief Technology Officer at Confluent, to discuss the latest innovations in real-time data streaming and the evolution of Confluent’s platform. Will shares how Confluent has grown far beyond its Apache Kafka roots into a complete Data Streaming Platform (DSP) that’s now trusted by thousands of customers—including 40% of the Fortune 500. We dive into how this platform acts as the "central nervous system" for organizations, powered by Kafka, Flink, Tableflow, and Govern. We explore the major challenges enterprises face with fragmented data, the divide between operational and analytical systems, and how Confluent helps customers “shift left” by reimagining data architecture using proven principles from security and DevOps. Tune in for a another great episode with Confluent, and dive into the future of data in motion—and why it's just getting started.
