  • Confluent's non-GAAP operating margin turned positive for the first time, marking a 27 percentage point improvement.
  • The transition to a consumption-oriented go-to-market model is expected to capture a larger share of the $60 billion data streaming platform market.
  • Confluent's leadership in data streaming is seen as crucial for critical business applications, including real-time generative AI, positioning it for continued growth in 2024.
