** About PubSub+ Event Portal for Apache Kafka **
You know and love Apache Kafka, but have you ever tried to visualize Kafka topology, or figure out who owns what event stream in a Kafka cluster? Your event-driven architecture has evolved, and your system has grown to the point where you’re feeling a bit… out of control.
You need a tool to discover your Kafka event streams, represent it in a graphical view, and make it easy to share and reuse events. Basically, you need an API portal, but for asynchronous, event-driven applications.
That is why we have developed PubSub+ Event Portal. This event management toolset makes it easy for you to discover, visualize, catalog and share your Apache Kafka event streams, including those from Confluent and Amazon MSK.

Reuse/Sharing
Architects & developers can:

interactions to understand
impact of changes

exporting AsyncAPI definitions
• Benefit from best practices &
consistently apply conventions
Productivity
CDO/data governance can:
• Understand where data is
coming from (lineage) and going
• Track changes and audit for
deviations while promoting apps
and dependencies though Dev,
Test, QA, and Prod
• Use application/event
