Last year, we introduced Freight clusters: a new cost-effective Confluent Cloud cluster type purpose-built for high-throughput, latency-insensitive workloads like observability data, batch pipelines, and AI/ML data ingestion. Since then we've been working with early access customers to take their workloads to production, and in doing so helped them achieve 90% lower infrastructure costs while maintaining the reliability we all know and expect from Confluent Cloud. 

We are thrilled to announce that Freight clusters are now generally available for Confluent customers using AWS https://www.confluent.io/blog/freight-clusters-are-generally-available. You can now spin up Freight clusters in Confluent Cloud and immediately take advantage of their unparalleled cost savings, enabling you to onboard more data-intensive workloads to Confluent Cloud in a budget-friendly manner.
