Answers to your questions about Axual’s All-in-one Kafka Platform

Are you curious about our All-in-one Kafka platform? Dive into our FAQs
for all the details you need, and find the answers to your burning questions.

What is the purpose of the Data Masking feature in this release?

The Data Masking feature ensures that sensitive information stored in Kafka topics is not exposed to users browsing the topic. Schema and Topic Owners can define which fields should be masked, improving data privacy and security while maintaining usability for non-sensitive data interactions.

How does the updated Kafka Streams experience benefit Application Owners?

The improved Kafka Streams feature allows applications to automatically create intermediate topics, reducing manual steps previously required by Application Owners. This simplifies the setup process, accelerates experimentation, and streamlines the deployment of Kafka Streams applications.

What does the Reset Consumer Application Offset feature do?

This feature enables Application Owners to reset their Consumer Group Offset to either LATEST or EARLIEST. It allows consumers to skip to the newest available messages or rewind to the beginning of a Kafka topic, offering flexibility for processing relevant data while optimizing performance.
