Deploy seamlessly using Helm Charts on your Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift clusters. Retain 100% control over your infrastructure, data centers, and security perimeter.
Discover why Europe's energy companies, financial services firms, and government agencies rely on Axual for mission-critical operations.
Grid stability, data exchange, and mission-critical reliability from a proven data streaming architecture that's trusted by leading TSOs, DSOs, and utility companies.
Yes. Axual is an enterprise Kafka platform built on open-source foundations: the Strimzi operator for Kafka, Apicurio for schemas and Keycloak for identity, so there’s no proprietary lock-in. It adds governance, self-service and true on-premises deployment, the areas where regulated and sovereignty-focused organisations find Confluent weakest. Moving from Confluent? We’ll migrate you for free.
Yes. Axual runs Apache Kafka on Kubernetes or OpenShift, on-premises, private cloud, hybrid, or Axual Cloud. Governance isn't bolted on: topic ownership, access control, schema enforcement, and full audit logging are part of the platform, so your data stays where your policies require.
Kafka data governance is the layer that controls who owns, accesses, and changes streaming data. Axual provides it through assigned topic and schema ownership, role- and attribute-based access control (RBAC/ABAC), schema enforcement between producers and consumers, and a full audit trail of every change across the platform.
Axual Cloud runs on European infrastructure, with a European cloud provider, so your event streams stay within the EU. Axual is also EU-owned and operated, so there’s no non-EU parent company with access to your data. If you need full control, you can run the platform on-premises instead.
We’ll migrate you for free, including consultancy. Our team plans the move with you, maps your existing topics, schemas and access rules to Axual, and helps you cut over with minimal disruption to production. Check our Migration services page for more information.
Use KSML. It lets you define Kafka Streams topologies in YAML, with custom logic written in Python, no Java, no build pipelines. Express filters, transformations, joins, and aggregations declaratively, test locally, then deploy to production.
Yes. Since release 2026.3, you can run Flink SQL applications directly on the Axual platform. You write the SQL, and Axual deploys it as a managed job on a Flink cluster your tenant has registered. Table definitions can be auto-generated from your connected topics. Flink SQL applications are managed like Connectors and KSML, with live status, resource usage and start/stop/reset controls from the same self-service interface. You can also deploy them through Terraform or the MCP server.
Axual logs every create, read, update and delete action across the platform, giving you a complete audit trail for compliance reviews. Combined with access control, schema enforcement and data masking, that gives auditors a clear picture of who did what with which data, and when.
Yes. The Axual MCP server is open and model-agnostic, so you can connect the AI client your organisation already uses. Every action it takes, from creating topics to deploying KSML or Flink SQL applications, runs through the same governed API as the UI and Terraform, with the same access controls and audit trail.
