“We are excited to announce the release of Confluent Platform 5.0, the enterprise streaming platform built on Apache Kafka. At Confluent, our vision is to place a streaming platform at the heart of every modern enterprise, helping infrastructure owners get the most out of Kafka and empowering developers to build powerful applications with real-time, streaming data,” says the company about the IoT-focused upgrades. “With a comprehensive streaming platform, companies can better integrate all their disparate data sources into a single source of truth and respond in real time to every event affecting the business.”
The Confluent Control Center app within the platform has also been updated with a new GUI for composing and executing KSQL queries. This update gives developers with no streaming data experience valuable assistance in writing streaming data applications. The KSQL REST API is also now available and works with Python, Java. Shell scripting, JavaScript and NET/C#.
