Detecting the Unexpected: Built-in Real-Time Anomaly Detection With Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink
At Confluent, we've been talking to customers about Streaming Agents—intelligent systems that work in the background responding to system events instead of to human chat inputs.

A powerful pattern has emerged: agentic investigation and remediation of anomalies.
