The Confluent Q1 ’25 Launch includes Freight clusters and Tableflow, the features needed to make streaming data cheaper and feeding your data lake easier. We’re also introducing AI tools for Apache Flink, VS Code Extension, a new premium Oracle CDC Connector, and more! Our quarterly launches provide a single resource to learn about the accelerating number of new features we’re bringing to Confluent Cloud, our cloud-native data streaming platform.

Tableflow represents Kafka topics and associate schemas as open-table formats such as Apache Iceberg(Generally Available) or Delta Lake (Early Access) in a few clicks to feed any data lake, warehouse, or analytics engine. It removes the need for complex, costly and error-prone data pipelines that are currently being used to feed streaming data to data lakes while delivering strong read performance and automated data maintenance. Customers can also bring their own storage ensuring flexibility, cost savings, and security.
