Artie - Migrate from Confluent

Confluent got their exit.
Maybe it's time for yours.

IBM just announced their intent to acquire Confluent for $11B. If you've been thinking about modernizing your streaming stack, now's your moment.

Move to Artie today and get up to 3 months free.

What a $11B acquisition usually means for engineering teams

When a fast-moving infrastructure company gets absorbed into a large enterprise ecosystem, the ripple effects are predictable.

Roadmaps slow down
Pricing drifts upward to meet enterprise targets
Procurement becomes heavier
Developer experience takes a backseat
Support becomes more siloed
Innovation cycles stretch out

IBM will shape the future of Confluent. You don't have to wait years to see where that ends up.

Why teams switch to Artie

A truly fully-managed alternative — purpose-built to make streaming deployable by anyone (even our sales person can do it).

01

Kafka-compatible streaming without the Kafka experts

Artie delivers high-volume, real-time pipelines powered by Kafka under the hood — without any of the complexities that come with scaling streaming systems. No Kafka experts required.

02

Transparent, predictable pricing

Pay for what you use with our Cloud pricing plan or lock in predictable platform fees with our Enterprise pricing plan that your CFO will love.

03

Zero-maintenance operations

Automatic scaling, schema evolution, checkpointing, retries, and observability out of the box.

04

Designed for engineering teams, not procurement

Terraform modules, DataDog integration, rich documentation, and a platform built for self-serve operators.

05

Real-time CDC as a first-class citizen

Low-latency replication from SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and more — continuously and reliably.

What teams say after switching

"Artie has been an absolute game-changer for our CDC ETL process. Before integrating Artie into our workflow, we struggled with inefficiencies and time-consuming maintenance that drained our resources. Since adopting Artie, we've experienced a remarkable boost in productivity."
