Unlocking Inter-Agent Collaboration: Confluent Powers Scalable AI with Google Cloud's A2A

The next frontier in AI is intelligent agentic systems, where agents collaborate to achieve complex goals. Google Cloud's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol offers a crucial open standard for this inter-agent communication, enabling discovery, coordination, and task execution. However, scaling these multi-agent systems in real-world enterprise environments demands a robust, asynchronous, and resilient communication backbone. This is precisely where Confluent, powered by Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, becomes indispensable.

This session will explore the powerful synergy between Confluent Cloud and Google Cloud's A2A protocol. We'll delve into architectural patterns leveraging Kafka topics as the shared, real-time central nervous system for A2A message exchange, ensuring unparalleled scalability and decoupling. Attendees will learn how Confluent's fully managed services, including Apache Flink and comprehensive connectors, facilitate seamless data flow, real-time processing, and contextual enrichment of agent communications, enabling consistency and integrity. This makes agent interactions inherently trackable, shareable, and composable across your systems.

Discover through practical use cases how Confluent's platform capabilities empower AI agents for intelligent automation and dynamic orchestration within the Google Cloud environment. This session will demonstrate why Confluent is the foundational platform for building truly scalable, integrated, and reliable AI ecosystems with Google Cloud Agent2Agent.
