Understanding Condense
What is Condense
Condense is a full-stack real-time data streaming platform for connecting operational data, processing events, building real-time applications, and running them at production scale.
Built on Apache Kafka, Condense combines managed streaming infrastructure, data integration, stream processing, application runtime, deployment, observability, and domain-specific intelligence in a unified platform.
It enables organizations to move from streaming data infrastructure to production-ready real-time applications without assembling and operating each layer independently.

Condense brings the major capabilities required for real-time application development and operation into a single platform.
At its foundation is a managed streaming backbone based on Kafka. Around that backbone, Condense provides data connectors, stream-processing capabilities, application execution, deployment, observability, and operational management.
The platform can therefore be viewed as two closely integrated domains:
This architecture removes the need to treat streaming infrastructure and the applications operating on that infrastructure as completely separate platforms.
