Kpow is the enterprise-grade toolkit for Apache Kafka that empowers engineering, SRE, and platform teams to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot their real-time data ecosystem with confidence.
Built by Kafka experts, Kpow provides a single, intuitive UI and a powerful API for managing your entire Kafka ecosystem, including Kafka Clusters, Connectors, Topics, Consumer Groups, and Schema Registries.
Deployed seamlessly on AWS (ECS, EKS, Fargate, EC2), Kpow is a secure, vendor-agnostic solution trusted by Fortune 500 companies to reduce operational risk and accelerate development velocity across their multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
Real-Time Visibility and Telemetry
Move beyond basic monitoring. Kpow gives you comprehensive, real-time insights into your entire Kafka topology:
- Full Kafka Topology: Instantly connect to and explore brokers, topics, partitions, consumer groups, offsets, and Schema Registry.
- Built-in Metrics: Track throughput, partition lag, message rates, offsets, and schema versions across your ecosystem without integrating external tools.
- Compute Console: Visualize and control consumption across your groups and topics.
- Vendor-Agnostic: Monitor any Kafka resource, including Amazon MSK, Confluent Cloud, Redpanda, Aiven, and self-managed clusters.
Deep Data Inspection and Troubleshooting
Accelerate root-cause analysis and confidently inspect data flows with powerful query capabilities:
- kJQ Predicates: Search and filter millions of messages instantly using Kpow's custom, JQ-like query language, the fastest way to inspect data on your topics.
- Natural Language Search: Search for messages using plain English by connecting an AI provider of your choice. Kpow converts your query into precise kJQ predicates to make advanced data inspection simple and accessible to everyone.
- First-Class Produce Support: Easily produce messages back to topics for testing, debugging, and replaying data flows.
- Data Lineage: Track message flows end-to-end for audit, compliance, and faster troubleshooting.
Safe, Governed Control and Automation
Perform critical operations with certainty. Kpow is designed for enterprise environments where governance, security, and auditable action are non-negotiable.
- Multi-Cluster Management: Manage up to 12 Kafka clusters from a single Kpow instance for cost-efficiency and operational simplicity.
- Open API: automate critical operations, such as connector management, topic configuration changes, and consumer group offset resets with our secure and auditable API.
- Enterprise-Grade Security: Run air-gapped and meet strict compliance requirements with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML, LDAP, OpenID, and comprehensive Audit Logs for all user actions.
- Data Governance: Enforce Data Masking and Redaction policies to protect sensitive PII and credit card data.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
