Confluent The Data Streaming Platform Plans Pricing

Confluent Cloud is priced on consumption, not on API calls. The unit is the eCKU (elastic Confluent Kafka Unit) charged per hour, plus per-GB data in/out and per-GB-month storage; the cluster TYPE is the plan. This artifact replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold that invented request-quota tiers (1,000 requests/month free, 100 requests/minute professional) which Confluent has never published — those figures were bulk-sweep defaults, not provider values, and are removed here.
