Conduktor is a collaborative Kafka Platform providing autonomy, automation, and advanced features for developers, along with security, standards, and regulations for platform teams.
Hey Product Hunters! 👋 Stephane (CTO & Co-Founder) here, from conduktor.io.
I’m excited to announce Conduktor 2.0, a massive milestone that sets a new standard for teams working with Apache Kafka.
❓ Not familiar with Kafka? It is the leading technology for managing real-time data streaming on a large scale. Companies like Uber, Netflix, and LinkedIn, along with over 80% of the Fortune 100, rely on it to power their services.
We’ve been working hard on our new solution since 2022, collaborating with leading engineering and platform teams struggling with Kafka at scale in terms of efficiency, security, and governance.
Our mission is to give everyone working with Kafka a simple and intuitive experience to build streaming applications and architectures. Whether you're a startup developer or navigating a large enterprise's complexities, we want to be here to simplify your Kafka experience and help you grow.
🚀 With this launch, we're marking a significant milestone by clearly articulating our vision for how teams should approach data streaming. We have decided to open up our free tier massively to let all the world's developers and teams succeed at the beginning of their Kafka journey at no cost. This is part of our commitment to supporting the developer community at the heart of everything we do.
Here's what makes Conduktor stand out:
* 👩💻 Developer Experience: We work hard on the UX of Conduktor: UI, API, and CLI. We want to provide a performant, cohesive, and complete experience.
* 🤖 Automation & GitOps: Complete API and CLI to manage Kafka and Conduktor resources, driving self-service and promoting cross-team sharing
* 🔐 Security and Governance: We provide visibility and extensive security controls around Kafka, which is critical in organizations of all sizes.
* 🙈 Protect your data: Encryption, Data Masking, Tokenization, Obfuscation, Pseudonymization. Just name it, we do it!
* 🍦 Self-Service: We aim to empower Platform teams and Developers alike, ensure governance, and simplify data streaming processes across teams.
* 📈 Embedded Monitoring & Alerting: It works out of the box with no agent dependency. You don't need to install anything else.
* 💾 On-Premise Deployment: We take data security seriously and provide only an on-premise product for now (Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudformation). We don’t have access to any of your data
* 🌎 Vendor Agnostic: We support all Apache Kafka vendors and setups, whether managed or self-hosted, cloud or on-premise.
We’re dedicated to ensuring all teams work in the same direction and are empowered as their data streaming landscape evolves. This requires connecting individuals, implementing processes, and enforcing policies. This is what Conduktor does.
➡️ Go to https://v2.conduktor.io and start Conduktor using Docker, and share your thoughts here. Your feedback is invaluable as we build our roadmap and integrate new features.
We'll be engaging in the comments all day. Excited to hear what you think! You can always reach me / our team at [email protected]. 🎉

Congratulations on the launch! Such a great tool to use and packed with so many features. I fully recommend it for anyone using Kafka.
Fantastic news and congratulations on the launch! I have been using Conduktor since the desktop version and it just keeps growing and getting more and more feature rich. It is THE essential tool whether you are troubleshooting, monitoring, enforcing security, testing and much more - and all in a one stop shop. I encourage everyone to give it a try.
Conduktor has a great approach to bringing data mesh principles like governance & data quality to any Kafka offering our clients may use. This, combined with a really clean message search functionality and custom serialization/deserialization functionality really improves the developer experience in more complex scenarios. Great job Conduktor Team!
Conduktor brings unparalleled ease and efficiency to Apache Kafka management, empowering users with intuitive tools and insightful features. As a consultancy, we rely on Conduktor in our projects to streamline Kafka operations and enhance productivity for our clients.
This is really nice, the gateway is such a simple yet powerful concept, one of the great things we love about this is the control it gives to the QA team so we can really test the resilience of an implementation. Great stuff
Nice that you are simplifying adoption of data streaming without compromising on security features! How can I get started with Docker? In v2.conduktor.io the "Start free" button leads me to conduktor.io/get-started which asks me to book a demo.
Conduktor's approach to simplifying complex Kafka development is impressive. Merging security with user-friendly design must have been challenging. How did you iterate the platform to meet various compliance and regulation standards without compromising on functionality?
At Checky Bear, we're also dedicated to melding sophisticated monitoring tools with straightforward usability.
