Metastore : Rdbms or File system
Can be connected to an Rdbms or File system as a metastore to store all the metadata.
Designed for Operations and developers.
Total self-service.
By introducing ownership on Topics, Acls and Avro schemas
Request/Approve Topics
New topics can be requested to be created, and on approval, topics are directly created on the cluster
Request/Approve Subscriptions
New subscriptions on topics can be requested to be created, and on approval, subscriptions are directly added to topics on the cluster. (LITERAL/PREFIXED and Transactional ID)
Request/Approve Avro Schemas
New Avro schemas can be requested to be created, and on approval, schemas are directly created on the schema registry server
Users/Teams
New users can register, and on approval by superusers, users are created. Users have different roles. New teams can be created by superuser. Teams contain a bunch of users. Teams own topics, acls, schemas.
Clusters/Environments
Clusters and Environments can be easily added/updated to connect to Kafka clusters
4-Eye principle
Kafkawize is based on 4-eye principle. Every request is approved by a different user, making sure it is reviewed.
Some of the best features
Providing end-to-end automation
Promote Topics
Topics from lower environments can be requested to be promoted to higher envs. This way it restricts users to create topics in adhoc way and at the same time maintains data integrity.
Delete Topics
When a topic is no more needed,it is best to get it deleted. So we save on the partitions loaded by the cluster. This feature makes sure a topic can only be deleted when there are no subscriptions for the topic.
Delete Subscriptions
It is possible to delete particular Producer or Consumer subscriptions of a topic with this feature. This deletion request can be triggered by that Acl owner teams. No other teams can request for other’s acl deletion.
SSO / Active Directory / Ldap
- With SSO - OAuth2 enabled, users do not have to enter credentials again.
- Users can be authenticated against Active Directory/Ldap while users login to Kafkawize.
If you do not want to create/use a different password for Kafkawize users, rather authenticate from your organization ActiveDirectory/Ldap server. It is easy to integrate.
Rapidly provision to any protocol of Kafka cluster
PLAINTEXT
Kafkawize can connect to Kafka clusters over PLAINTEXT protocol. This is not very secure.
SSL
Kafkawize can connect to Kafka clusters over SSL protocol. This is the most secure option.
SASL_SSL
Kafka-Jaas configuration has to be setup on the Kafka cluster. This is can be done in PLAIN or with Kerberos auth mode
Integrates well into your organization
White labelling
Kafkawize can be well integrated into your organization applications, by our white labelling support, for example on logo, colors, etc.

Differentiators
Metadata Synchronization & Restore
A situation where Kafka cluster already exists and would like to adapt Kafkawize in your organization, all the topics and acls need to have their teams/owners. It is possible with Synchronization of Topics or Acls. Also in case of cluster had any issues, and lost topics and acls, it is possible to restore the whole config.
Email Notifications
For every request and approval, through out the Kafkawize application, emails are sent out to approvers, and after approvals, notify the requesters. When a new user is added, or password changes, etc, notifications are enabled.
Audit & Governance
All the requests from users are audited and can be viewed. Every request and its approval is audited and is visible to users of all teams. Request can be Topic/Acl/Schema/NewUser etc. This helps in efficient tracking of any request.
Dashboard
Dashboard displays different statistics like number of topics owned by teams, status of clusters Dev, Tst, Acc, Prd, status of clusterapi, pendng requests to be approved or declined, and number of configured clusters.
Increased efficiency, reduced manual activities
With full self service enabled, its a ZERO risk of manual errors, saving costs on time and effort.
