The DSP story is dead.

Pros

If you have good enterprise accounts, you can grow those accounts to the moon.

Cons

If you have to prospect, heavens help you. This product and space are too complex to sell into. The DSP (Digital Streaming Platform) story that leadership tells is not resonating with the market. No one cares about Flink. No one wants to use Confluent's version of tableflow. No one can articulate why Confluent should be ones taking these workloads instead of Databricks other than "we're faster." But we aren't cheaper and definitely not easier to use.
