Confluent, the platform to set data in motion, launched the industry’s first governance suite for streaming data.
Stream Governance is offered as a fully managed cloud solution and delivers a simple, self-service experience to discover, understand, and trust the real-time data that flows throughout modern businesses.
Stream Governance gives quick and easy access to the data that’s critical to developing more real-time applications and business operations, all while maintaining data security and privacy. This provides organisations with a safe way to expand the use of data in motion and create a central nervous system that ties together disparate applications and systems.
Jay Kreps, Co-founder and CEO, Confluent, said:
“Data in motion is becoming the key platform for companies looking to unlock their data. But to truly unlock data, it isn’t enough to make it accessible. You need to also ensure it is correct, compliant, and discoverable. With Stream Governance, we make the governance of streaming data easy and integrated so customers can ensure that their data is a solid foundation for their next generation digital initiatives.”
Stream Governance makes the value of real-time data available across an organisation, with both self-service data discoverability and scalable controls for long-term data compatibility and compliance. The new suite of capabilities establishes trust in the real-time data moving throughout your business while delivering an easy, cloud-native experience that empowers teams across any organisation.
The new cloud capabilities that are now available as part Stream Governance are:
- Stream catalog: Increase collaboration and productivity with self-service data discovery. Stream catalog allows individuals across teams to collaborate within a centralised, organised library designed for sharing, finding, and understanding the high-quality data needed to drive their projects forward quickly and efficiently. This includes topics, schemas, fields in schemas, clusters, connectors, and more.
- Stream lineage: Understand complex data relationships and uncover more insight. Stream lineage provides an end-to-end map of event streams with both a bird’s-eye view and drill-down magnification. With a better understanding of where data originated, where it’s going, and how it’s transformed, developers can move projects forward with assurance their work won’t cause negative or unexpected downstream impact. This also helps accelerate the movement of data in motion workflows from on-premises to the cloud.
- Stream quality: Deliver trusted, high-quality event streams to the business. Confluent’s Schema Registry helps organisations scale data integrity without adding operational complexity. As part of this launch, Confluent is announcing the new Schema Management UI, which makes it easier than ever to understand which schemas exist, how they are defined, and where they are used.
