What is Confluent?
Confluent is a full-scale, advanced data streaming platform that facilitates seamless access storage, and management of continuous real-time data streams.
Integrating Confluent with The MegaBill
The Confluent cost center is available in the MegaBill, providing breakdowns by services, clusters, usage type (e.g., network write, storage), and network access type (e.g., Peered VCP, Internet).
This integration ensures a unified view of all associated costs, combining the environment's expenditure with its related cloud expenses. To further consolidate costs and obtain a comprehensive view, Virtual Tags can be utilized.
Note: To retrieve cost data from Confluent, use the following endpoint:
