What this post added

This post announces the expansion of Confluent Cloud's fully managed connectors portfolio to over 50, including new connectors for ActiveMQ, Databricks Delta Lake, Google BigTable, IBM MQ, MQTT, PagerDuty, RabbitMQ, Redis, SFTP, Splunk, and Zendesk. It details the benefits of fully managed connectors, such as eliminating operational burdens, reducing TCO, and enabling real-time data integration. The post also discusses the engineering journey to offer these connectors as fully managed services, abstracting away complexities of Connect worker management, internal topics, worker configs, monitoring, and security, while allowing for elastic scaling of task counts.
