This post details how Confluent's platform, particularly its CDC connectors and Cluster Linking, accelerates cloud database modernization and migration by enabling real-time data movement from on-premises and multi-cloud environments to any cloud database. It highlights the shift from batch processing to real-time streaming, the benefits of managed services, and the reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Specific CDC connectors for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Salesforce are mentioned as key enablers for capturing database changes in real-time. Cluster Linking is presented as a mechanism to bridge on-premises Kafka clusters with Confluent Cloud for data migration. The post also references solution briefs and marketplace integrations for specific cloud providers (AWS Aurora, Azure Cosmos DB, Google Cloud SQL).
