# Confluent

A data streaming platform provider selling a managed, cloud-native Apache Kafka service and on-premises deployment for real-time data architectures.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same managed Kafka and data-streaming capability to the same practitioners and executives who would shortlist the anchor's own data-infrastructure offerings.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Stream smarter with our fully managed, cloud-native Apache Kafka® service

> Build real-time data architectures
