Easily Represent Kafka Topics as Apache Iceberg® or Delta Lake Tables

“Access to real-time data is critical for customers to make fast and accurate decisions. With Confluent’s Tableflow now available on Microsoft Azure, customers can stream Kafka events to OneLake as Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake tables and query them instantly via Microsoft Fabric and popular 3rd party engines using OneLake Table APIs, cutting complexity and speeding up decisions.”

“Access to real-time, trustworthy data is a key factor in scaling AI initiatives faster, and a crucial requirement for analytical platforms. With Tableflow, users can seamlessly represent Kafka topics and their associated schemas as Apache Iceberg™ tables in just a few clicks to deliver the AI-powered insights that today’s businesses need. Through a native integration with Snowflake Open Catalog, a managed service for Apache Polaris™(incubating), our joint customers can access real-time operational data for AI, analytics, and collaboration easier, and with more unified governance, than ever before. We are thrilled to help customers bridge the gap between operational and analytical estates with a solution that leverages open standards."

“Bus companies love us because we make sales, operations and dispatching super simple, but that’s only possible with real-time data analytics. Tableflow offers a promising path for our analytics engine to seamlessly consume operational data in Kafka in real-time as Apache Iceberg tables, eliminating the need for additional pre-processing. By integrating Tableflow with our data warehouse, we could prevent raw, unclean data from being ingested while reducing complexity and storage costs. This approach would simplify workflows and accelerate time to insight while ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective data architecture.”

'At Attune, delivering real-time insights from smart building IoT data is central to our mission. With just a few clicks, Confluent Tableflow lets us materialize key Kafka topics into trusted, analytics-ready tables. This gives our business accurate visibility into customer engagement, device behavior, and per-tenant platform utilization—directly from the live data streams. The Confluent Data Streaming Platform also helps us quickly identify and resolve data quality issues like duplicate sensor events, saving time and improving efficiency. Tableflow has simplified our data architecture while opening new possibilities for how we leverage data."

“In the current era of AI, it is more important than ever to ensure that real-time, trustworthy data is unified across both operational and analytical systems. Enterprises should seek solutions that provide their lakehouses, AI models, and analytical engines with real-time streaming data without extensive pre-processing or manual intervention. Offerings that automate the preparation of bronze and silver standard tables with a push-button approach can enable faster real-time decision-making, significantly accelerate AI initiatives, and enhance data reliability, integrity, and trust.”
