Welcome to the Confluent Community Forum šŸ‘‹

This forum is all about data streaming. This includes Confluent, Apache KafkaĀ®, Apache FlinkĀ®, Kafka Connect, Kafka Streams, and everything that relates including security, microservices, Apache IcebergĀ® and much more!

How to Confluent Forum:

  • IMPORTANT: Be kind and respectful to all users (If you find someone not doing that you can report the incident here)

  • Choose the right category and ask away! The best written questions get the most useful answers! Be clear, precise and specific with your questions.

  • Contribute to other threads! Even If you don’t have all the answers, your 0.2c might help! (Plus it might earn you a few badges!)

  • Too shy? We welcome lurkers! Maybe if you agree with a post, give it a ā€˜like’ to let our contributors know they are appreciated!

Resources to help you become a Data Streaming hero!


About the Discourse platform

Discourse is popular forum software. It has a few key concepts:

  • Users post questions, discussions, announcements, etc as topics. Each post is a topic. Topics that are a question can be marked as Solved by the original poster.

  • Topics are organised into categories. Some categories have subcategories within them to help keep information easy to find.

If you already use Slack, then the analogous component of a channel is a category in Discourse, and a message in Slack is a topic here in Discourse.


This is a resource for the community to help the community. Whilst there are a number of Confluent employees who are helpful and contribute to discussions, they are solely doing it as community members, themselves. Please refrain from ā€˜mentioning’ specific users asking them to answer your question.


This platform exists so that participants can learn, communicate, contribute and collaborate. Confluent’s Community Code of Conduct governs how we all participate and behave.
