What do you like best about the product?
Confluent has great documentation and developer advocacy resources. I learned Kafka and Kafka Streams almost exclusively using Confluent resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not use Confluent tooling deeply or long enough to find downsides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not a business problem, but helped me implement an event-stream processor using Kafka Streams. The streaming portion of the work was abstracted so I could focus on the algorithmic gist of my project.

What do you like best about the product?
With Kafka topics, it is possible to easily set up a pub/sub pattern and provide producers and consumers with complete end-to-end visibility using Confluent Center. Simple to scale through the addition of brokers and "no downtime" software update/patch deployments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Confluent has nothing that I don't like. Instead, they are focusing on improving the data flow from the CDC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our architecture is being redefined using event-driven microservices and stream processing pipelines, with Kafka serving as the only source of truth. Since our team's developers still need to go through a specific learning curve and paradigm shift, productivity is still lacking.
