History

Apache Kafka was originally developed by LinkedIn, and was subsequently open sourced in early 2011. Graduation from the Apache Incubator occurred on 23 October 2012. In November 2014, several engineers who built Kafka at LinkedIn created a new company named Confluent[3] with a focus on Kafka.
