:star: Welcome to the Confluent Community Forum! :wave:

We are delighted to have you here as part of this large community!

The topics discussed within this space are all about event streaming, including Confluent Platform, Confluent Cloud, Apache Kafka®, Kafka Connect, streaming data pipelines, ksqlDB, Kafka Streams, stream processing, Security, Microservices and a lot more!!

:point_right: We would love your feedback.

Here are a few pointers to get you started:

  • :wave: Introduce yourself and say hi over in the lounge

  • :woman_student: To learn about Kafka we recommend you :writing_hand: start at Confluent Developer or watch this :movie_camera: talk.

  • To ask a question find the appropriate category and ask away!

    • Like any community, you get out of it what you put in. Take the time to read around existing content and when you’re ready to ask a question, make sure it’s well written :slight_smile: You can learn more about our online platforms etiquette here.
      *See all the badges you can earn through your support of the community!

  • If you’re just here to lurk and learn you are very welcome, and perhaps you may enjoy these learning resources too.

Find more Confluent Community resources, including our hugely active slack channel, our ongoing meetup program and much more!

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. There is never an obligation for any Confluent employee (or employee of any other company, for that matter) to reply to any post or message.

Apache Kafka®, Kafka, and associated open source project names are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Software Foundation has no affiliation with and does not endorse, or review the materials provided here or discussed within this platform.
