About Eric Driscoll

I advise technology leaders on how to accelerate the velocity of digital transformation through realtime event streaming. Government agencies understand that making smarter, more effective use of their data is critical to improved citizen experiences, mission success and program effectiveness. But many have yet to figure out how to keep pace with our increasingly data-driven world. The Confluent event-streaming platform enables government organizations and businesses in every industry to unlock and repurpose their existing data for countless modern applications and use cases. Confluent offers the only event streaming platform to act in realtime, at any scale, in any environment, whether on prem, or in the cloud. Confluent was founded by the team that built Kafka at LinkedIn. At LinkedIn, this platform scaled to hundreds of billions of messages per day covering everything happening in the company. Kafka was open-sourced from its very early days, and have led it to impressive industry-wide adoption across several thousand companies. We have now created the Confluent Platform providing monitoring, management, security, acceleration and reliability for Kafka.
