At the end of March, we released the first version of Cloudera SQL StreamBuilder as part of CSA 1.3. It enabled users to easily write, run and manage real-time SQL queries on streams from Apache Kafka with an exceptionally smooth user experience. Since then, we have been working hard to expose the full power of Apache Flink SQL and the existing Data Warehousing tools in CDP to combine it into a state-of-the-art real-time analytics platform.
Cloudera has been named as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave for Streaming Analytics, Q2 2021. We are excited to be recognized in this wave at, what we consider to be, such a strong position. We are proud to have been named as one of “The 14 providers that matter most” in streaming analytics. The report states that richness of analytics, development tool options and near-effortless scalability are what streaming analytics customers should look for in a provider.
In October of 2020 Cloudera acquired Eventador and Cloudera Streaming Analytics (CSA) 1.3.0 was released early in 2021.

The team’s focus turned to bringing Flink Data Definition Language (DDL) and the batch interface into SSB with that completed.

To keep up, data pipelines are being vigorously reshaped with modern tools and techniques.
