Simplify collaboration and streamline
data sharing
Axual comes packed with features to enable the enterprise wide adoption of Apache Kafka.
Get the most popular streaming platform on the planet: Apache Kafka. It allows you to stream your data from producers through stream processing applications to consumers.
We use Strimzi to deploy, run, and manage Kafka on Kubernetes clusters. You get a secure, and scalable Kafka through careful configuration.
We supply the most popular open source schema registry, with support for Avro, JSON, Protobuf and many more schema that you can use as data contracts between your producers and consumers.
Interact with your Kafka cluster through a REST API, in case your application can not use the Kafka protocol or Kafka connectors.
Do you have multiple Kafka clusters, and want to keep them in sync? Axual synchronizes topics, schema, and consumer offsets between two or more Kafka clusters.
Manage your topics, topic configurations, and number of partitions. Add metadata to your topics to make them findable. Ownership provides the ultimate topic governance.
Deploy your topics in different environments, like dev, test, and prod. Or set up your own environment to develop in isolation. Our governance guides developers through the full application lifecycle.
Get an overview of which applications are owned by whom, and with which topics they interact. Application owners can initiate workflows to request access to someone else's topic.
See in a graphical overview which applications produce to which topics and which applications consume. Navigate through environments or filter on the owning team to quickly find the information you need.
Strictly control who gets to produce to/or consume from your topics and be able to revoke access anytime.
Have an external API Catalog? You can easily export your Kafka topic as AsyncAPI spec, or retrieve it through an API.
Everything-as-Code, or GitOps, is the way to go for many companies. Our Terraform provider allows for full-fledged GitOps. Teams can create their own Kafka definitions in Git and have Terraform deploy them. Repeatability was never this easy.
Set up, run, and monitor your own connectors, either through self-service, API, or Terraform. Understand failure scenarios by inspecting connector logs.
Manage your schemas through ownership and self-service. Want to deploy your schema to 80 different topics? With Axual, you still only need to maintain its definition once.
Use our metrics API to programmatically get insights on the topics and applications you own. Hook them up to your own alerting tools for full operational awareness.
Understand how data is flowing through your topics, see the day-to-day patterns, and look back in time.
Find bottlenecks in your streaming landscape. See how much your consuming applications lag on your topics so you can do something about it.
See the log output of your connector in real-time or offload it to an external system.
Debug issues in your streaming applications and get better insights into the data that flows through your topics.
Authenticate your Kafka applications with the most common mechanisms. All are easily managed through self-service.
Upload or generate your application credentials and store them securely in Vault or comparable secrets store.
Our RBAC and ABAC mechanisms secure your streaming platform and make sure that nobody gets their hands on the wrong data.
Use the identity provider of your choice for a smooth SSO experience of your users.
Handle your production data with care; give only trusted people access to your topics when the situation asks for it.
Review all CRUD actions on the platform by inspecting audit logging.
Run Axual Platform on Red Hat OpenShift worryfree.
