Requirement

USCIS has a requirement to procure continuation of the Confluent Kafka Licenses and Product support needed for ongoing professional architecture and engineering services necessary to provide data transport to the cloud and the continuous architectural upgrades and configurations required. The architectural and configuration enhancements will ensure that our environment is consistently evolving in order to support the growing influx of data transport that will be brought on by Backlog Reduction scanning and application processing. Use of Confluent Kafka will ensure that the USCIS infrastructure can remain scalable and sustain the increase in data traffic from Backlog Reduction scanned files, and from increased Backlog Reduction and Operation Allies Welcome application processing in USCIS systems such as MyUSCIS, ELIS, NASS, Benefits Hub, and EGIS in support of Backlog Reduction and Operation Allies Welcome. Confluent Kafka is integral to our success in accomplishing Backlog Reduction goals and accomplishing day to day application processing.
