ksqlDB
Now that your data is in motion, it’s time to make sense of it. Stream processing enables you to derive instant insights from your data streams, but setting up the infrastructure to support it can be complex. That’s why Confluent developed ksqlDB, the database purpose-built for stream processing applications. Make your data immediately actionable by continuously processing streams of data generated throughout your business. ksqlDB’s intuitive syntax lets you quickly access and augment data in Kafka, enabling development teams to seamlessly create real-time innovative customer experiences and fulfill data-driven operational needs. ksqlDB offers a single solution for collecting streams of data, enriching them, and serving queries on new derived streams and tables. That means less infrastructure to deploy, maintain, scale, and secure. With less moving parts in your data architecture, you can focus on what really matters -- innovation.
