Conduktor Enterprise

Conduktor is the enterprise control plane for Apache Kafka - built for organizations running Kafka at scale, including on Amazon MSK, who need more than native tooling provides. Console and Gateway work side by side, giving developers the velocity to ship fast and platform teams the control to enforce standards across any Kafka provider and infrastructure.

Gateway - Route. Protect. Transform.

Conduktor Gateway sits transparently between your client applications and your Kafka clusters, intercepting wire-level traffic to add the governance, security, and resilience your organization needs - without any changes to your producers, consumers, or brokers.

Gateway is built on an extensible interceptor plugin mechanism, allowing teams to apply technical and business logic dynamically at the transport layer. It is fully Apache Kafka protocol compliant and vendor-agnostic - it works with any Kafka deployment, wherever it runs.

Gateway is available as a Core base with optional add-ons:

Core - The foundational Gateway layer. Multi-tenancy via virtual clusters, topic-level policy enforcement, consumer group isolation, and a GitOps-compatible configuration API. All add-ons require Core.

DR & Failover (add-on) - Transparent failover between Kafka clusters with zero application-side changes. Designed for high-availability requirements and zero-downtime migration or recovery.

Protect (add-on) - Field-level and full-payload encryption, data masking, and fine-grained access enforcement at the message level. Enforce data security and regulatory compliance without modifying a single producer or consumer.

Exchange (add-on) - Share Kafka data securely with external partners via isolated Partner Zones. Control topic exposure, enforce traffic quotas, and hide internal topic structure. No data duplication required.

Console - Visibility. Ownership. Autonomy.

Conduktor Console is the modern Kafka UI and API built for platform and data engineering teams who need to govern Kafka at scale - without becoming a bottleneck for the developers who depend on it.

Console gives platform teams an ownership model that scales. Application and topic catalogs establish accountability across your entire Kafka estate. Automated policy enforcement, approval workflows, and self-service provisioning let you set guardrails once and let developers operate within them - without opening tickets or requiring manual intervention.

• Manage multiple clusters from a single control plane, including Amazon MSK, Confluent, Redpanda, Aiven, and self-managed Apache Kafka
• Role-based access control at cluster, topic, and consumer group level
• Application and topic catalogs with resource ownership mapping across teams
• Self-service developer provisioning within automated policy guardrails
• Approval workflows for access requests - no ticket queues
• Health optimization with partition, retention, and configuration recommendations
• Cost attribution and chargeback reporting across teams and projects
• Real-time monitoring, custom alerting, and full audit logging
• GitOps-compatible API for infrastructure-as-code workflows
