Freight clusters are a new type of Confluent Cloud cluster that is designed for high-throughput, relaxed latency workloads. They are up to 90% cheaper than self-managing Apache Kafka. Freight clusters utilize the latest innovations in Confluent Cloud's cloud-native engine, Kora, to deliver low-cost networking by trading off ultra low latency performance. They are a perfect fit for high-volume use cases such as logging, telemetry, or feeding data lakes.
