Our Partnership with Confluent®, an IBM company

The Data Streaming Platform, Delivered by a Two-Time [Confluent Partner] of the Year

Confluent, an IBM company, was founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka® and delivers the Confluent® data streaming platform. Psyncopate was named Confluent Partner of the Year in 2023 and 2025, is backed by direct investment from Confluent, and delivers across the full Confluent portfolio through our Kafka and Flink practices.

Chosen Twice. Invested In. Embedded.

Plenty of partners resell a platform. Very few are named Partner of the Year twice, and fewer still earn the vendor's direct investment. Psyncopate has both: Confluent Partner of the Year in 2023 and 2025, and direct investment from Confluent. That trust was built one production delivery at a time.

Our engineers work embedded alongside Confluent Professional Services teams on customer engagements, which means we deliver to the same standards on the platform's hardest projects, not just our own.

The result is depth across the entire portfolio: Confluent Platform in your data centers, Confluent Cloud at global scale, Connect and custom connectors, ksqlDB and Kafka Streams, Stream Governance and Schema Registry, Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink®, and Tableflow bridging your topics into the Lakehouse. Wherever the Confluent platform goes, we have already delivered there.

Chosen Twice. Invested In. Embedded.

A Delivery Model Built for Certainty

Full-portfolio delivery across Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud, from cluster to Lakehouse to AI.

Confluent Platform, Self-Managed

Enterprise-grade installation, automation, and hardening of Confluent Platform on VMs, Kubernetes, or OpenShift: security, connectivity, monitoring, disaster recovery, version upgrades, and multi-region architectures.

Confluent Cloud

Cloud setup and infrastructure automation with Terraform, cluster linking, security and monitoring, throughput and latency optimization, and accelerated migrations onto Confluent Cloud from open-source Kafka and Amazon MSK.

Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink®

Stream processing on the platform's Flink service: Flink SQL development and optimization, compute pool and governance design, and production stream development. Delivered through our Flink practice.

Stream Governance & Tableflow

Schema Registry, data contracts, and RBAC models that scale, plus Tableflow to materialize Kafka topics as Delta and Iceberg tables. One governed flow from the stream into the Lakehouse.

Applications & Connectors

ksqlDB and Kafka Streams development, end-to-end producer and consumer applications with CI/CD, and custom source and sink connectors for Confluent Connect, cloud or self-managed.

Operational Support & Managed Services

24/7, 24/5, and 8/5 L1/L2 coverage with L3/MSP expert support, proactive monitoring, and follow-the-sun global delivery for Confluent estates.

A Delivery Model Built for Certainty

Every engagement follows a proven path: modular, transparent, and matched to where you are in your streaming journey.

01

Assess

Evaluate your streaming estate and objectives: current platform (Confluent or otherwise), workload and cost profile, governance posture, and the highest-value path onto or across the Confluent portfolio.

02

Architect

Design the target: Confluent Platform, Confluent Cloud, or hybrid; security and RBAC model; schema governance; DR strategy; and, where the Lakehouse is in play, the Tableflow path from topics to tables.

03

Implement

Certified engineers build with accelerator-driven execution: migration accelerators, Terraform automation, runbooks, CI/CD templates, and application patterns proven across our Kafka and Flink practices.

04

Enable

Training, playbooks, and hands-on enablement built into every engagement, with managed operations available when you would rather we keep running it.

One Partnership. Two Practices.

The Confluent partnership powers two of our core technology practices, each with its own dedicated team, methodology, and delivery track record.

More Than Engineers, a True Partner You Can Trust

We engaged with Psyncopate as we began a major system overhaul. Our small staff needed to be augmented, and Psyncopate was able to provide us with highly skilled engineers that ramped up to speed quickly and were great teammates working alongside, and transferring knowledge to, our programmers.

More importantly, Psyncopate became our trusted partner. They learned our unique business and were able to provide valuable advice throughout our project by leveraging their years and breadth of experience. Knowing that Psyncopate was in our corner, rather than in the corner of any one product, gave us confidence and helped us navigate numerous decisions throughout the project.

Unbiased Guidance. Best-Fit Solutions

We asked Psyncopate to put on our organization’s hat and to act as if they were part of it. Psyncopate repaid our trust with an approach that allowed us to view the landscape through a technology agnostic lens. Unlike other consulting firms, Psyncopate never favored one technology over another; rather, they found the best fit for our business needs, both current and into the anticipated future. Psyncopate stayed true to our mission and vision, took to the time to learn our business, understood what makes us tick, and furthered the principles that we wanted to espouse.

Unquestionable Expertise in Integration

Psyncopate has been a truly valued partner. Their knowledge and experience in the integration space is unquestionable and continues to be a great asset to us. More important though, we truly appreciate Psyncopate’s “Client-First” approach and their attention to our business needs. They have continued to invest in growing our partnership, and we trust their guidance on our integration needs.
