The PipelineDB Team (YC W14) Joins Confluent

When we founded Confluent, we took the radical approach of viewing data—and the infrastructure that supported it—as a series of real-time streaming events rather than something kept in static, sedentary data repositories. Our belief is that as companies collect their data in an event streaming platform—one that integrates real-time data across different parts of the company—it is only natural that they also need to process the event streams, join and summarize them on the fly. The underlying approach of continuously updated views on streaming data matched our vision of how developers build summarizations and joins on event streams with KSQL.
