Confluent Cloud is a fully managed Apache Kafka service for event streaming, offering low-latency ingestion, storage, stream processing (ksqlDB), schema registry, and connectors. It scales horizontally and integrates with major cloud ecosystems and databases.

Confluent Cloud is partially accessible from China; web console and broker endpoints face high latency and blockage. Confluent does not offer a China-region service, so data from Chinese clients must traverse international infrastructure—causing regulatory and performance challenges. Developers often deploy on Chinese-managed Kafka services like Alibaba Streaming Compute, Tencent CKafka, or self-hosted Kafka on local infrastructure to comply with regulations and ensure reliability.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
