Sometimes, the difference between Apache Kafka and Confluent can be unclear. Apache Kafka is the open-source core for real-time data streaming, while Confluent builds on Kafka with enterprise-grade tools for security, governance, monitoring, and cloud operations. In essence, Kafka moves the data, and Confluent makes it easier to manage and use across the enterprise.
Our Confluent consulting services
Architecture & strategy
We assess your current data landscape and define a roadmap for event-driven transformation tailored to your goals.
Implementation & integration
Our experts design and deploy Confluent Platform or Confluent Cloud environments, integrating them seamlessly with enterprise systems.
Data governance & security
We implement schema registries, role-based access control, encryption, and compliance frameworks to ensure trust and consistency.
Modernization & migration

Common challenges we solve
Even the most capable teams face obstacles when scaling real-time data platforms. Mimacom’s Confluent consulting helps organizations overcome the technical and operational challenges that often hold back streaming success.
Data silos & batch pipelines
Outdated ETL systems limit visibility and delay insights. We replace them with real-time event streams that keep data synchronized and decisions current.
Complex Kafka management
Operating Kafka at scale is resource-intensive. We simplify deployment and scaling through automation, monitoring, and governance best practices.
Schema & compatibility issues
Inconsistent data structures can break downstream systems. Our consultants enforce schema governance and evolution with Confluent Schema Registry to maintain data integrity.
Downtime or message loss
Every second of disruption costs value. We design resilient architectures with redundancy and recovery mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted data flow.
Hybrid & multi-cloud integration
Enterprises often struggle to connect different environments. We enable seamless, secure integration between on-premises systems and cloud services using Confluent connectors and APIs.
Security & compliance risks
Streaming platforms must meet strict data standards. We implement encryption, access control, and audit frameworks aligned with GDPR and ISO 27001.
Operational overheads
Manual maintenance and monitoring slow delivery. We automate infrastructure, testing, and observability to improve efficiency and reliability.
Let’s talk about what real-time really means for your business. Our Confluent consultants can help you identify where streaming data creates the biggest impact, and how to get there efficiently and securely.
