Most AI agents are generalists that struggle with the nuances of streaming data and Kafka infrastructure, often leading you down a rabbit hole with many tokens spent. In this session, live from Current London, we’ll show you how to close the context gap with Skills for Kafka: structured files that are playbooks and level-ups for agents to handle complex multi-step tasks like reviewing schema changes, critiquing DLQ policies and auditing topics for best practice. We will walk through how these skills work, demonstrate the different ways to use them (including with MCP servers) in Cursor and Claude.

Confluent CEO Jay Kreps takes the stage alongside industry leaders at data streaming’s biggest event. Together, they’ll show why free-flowing, real-time data has become the key to unleashing the full potential of intelligent systems across every business. From live demos to real-world use cases to industry-changing product announcements, this year’s keynote is essential viewing for anyone looking to maximize the potential of their AI. Which is pretty much everyone. Don’t miss it.

Wix rewired 85% of its data volume onto Confluent Freight Clusters—and the result was lower costs and elastic scalability that handles Black Friday–scale spikes without manual intervention. Josef Goldstein explains why it felt like a magical solution.

Wix processes 40 billion events a day across use cases that range from minutes to milliseconds. Josef Goldstein explains why the entire upstream architecture has to be built around your most latency-sensitive lane—or none of it works.

Real-time data and AI are converging—and companies that have already solved the data pipeline problem are pulling ahead fast. Wix processes over 40 billion interactions every day across hundreds of millions of websites, and the architecture behind that scale didn't happen by accident. It was built, lane by lane, around the principle that your upstream data must be at least as fast as your fastest use case.
