Confluent The data streaming platform.

08/19/2026

AI agents fail when their reasoning is built on stale data.

This week, we launched new Confluent Intelligence and AI tool updates to fix this gap by serving fresh context straight to your models. Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

🔷 Real-Time Context Engine with user-facing metrics.

🔷 Zero-config, real-time anomaly detection and forecasting with IBM Granite Time Series models and Google TimesFM model

🔷 New Agent Skills bring streaming expertise to AI assistants, while Confluent Copilot lets teams operate workloads using natural language.

If it’s felt hard to keep up with everything launching on Confluent Cloud lately, that’s because it has been!

We’ve shipped 70+ features in the last few months, expanding what the data streaming platform can do across every pillar so high-throughput applications and real-time AI can run with complete confidence.

Head to our blog to see how we’re helping teams run mission-critical workloads and feed fresh context directly to AI agents without pipeline sprawl: https://ibm.co/6186ERYQp

In financial markets, dropped data means lost revenue and broken trust.

That’s why SBI Liquidity Market uses our data streaming platform to power their mission-critical financial systems. The result? Uninterrupted, real-time data movement with zero data loss.

See how their shift from monolith to microservices eliminated risk and built a reliable foundation: https://www.confluent.io/customers/sbi-liquidity-market/

What if your engineers only had to think about producing an event and executing when one comes in?

That's the reality at Extend, the AI-native commerce platform unifying delivery, returns, exchanges, and warranty claims. In this episode of Life Is But A Stream, Jonathan Kropp joins Joseph Morais to share how Extend built a 100% serverless platform with Apache Kafka® on Confluent Cloud as its central nervous system.

The results?
↪ An immutable, replayable event log tracking fraud signals
↪ Schema enforcement that stabilized services across the platform
↪ Technology spend traceable to every revenue-generating event

This is what making great bets on your data foundation looks like.

Managing Flink SQL operations, monitoring, KRaft migrations, and data governance in separate workflows adds a lot of friction for platform teams.

Confluent Platform 8.3 changes that.

Built on Apache Kafka 4.3, this release brings these capabilities into Confluent Platform, so you can scale data in motion with complete control.

Use an agent-ready MCP server for Apache Flink, build richer Flink SQL applications without leaving the SQL workflow, monitor KStreams applications and clients, and simplify KRaft migrations and governance across your estate. Learn more: https://cnfl.io/4ftGZ6d

Mission-critical migrations don't happen by accident.
They take planning, partnership, and platforms built for resilience.

OCBC’s George Goh and Sami Ahmed join Joseph Morais in this 🆕 episode of Life Is But A Stream to share how they migrated thousands of microservices and legacy applications across multi-regions in a single weekend with zero data loss. Tune in: https://youtu.be/4JfTJiceDWM

Real-time safety at AI scale doesn't have to mean ballooning infrastructure spend.

Maor Bril of Character.AI joins Joseph Morais to share how his team built real-time prompt safety testing and experimentation pipelines on WarpStream, reducing total streaming costs by 85 to 90% compared to their original approach.
