Master Kafka at peak trading scale

Data engineers at Adidas, Mercadona, and Square use Kpow to trace consumer lag, enforce access controls, and inspect live message data across Confluent, MSK, and self-hosted clusters.

One UI and API for any flavour of Kafka

Kpow connects to any Apache Kafka compatible platform, including MSK, Confluent, Redpanda, Aiven, Instaclustr, and self-hosted clusters.

Built for retail platforms that can't afford blind spots

Faster incident response

When consumer lag starts climbing across your inventory or pricing pipelines, Kpow lets you correlate broker health, partition distribution, and consumer group state in one view.

Data inspection without PII exposure

Browse live topic data with schema awareness and field-level masking to debug production issues without exposing sensitive customer information.

Governance at scale

Fifteen squads across merchandising, supply chain, payments, and marketing, all touching the same clusters. Kpow logs every administrative action with user attributes and timestamps.

Multi-cluster visibility

One view for capacity planning, cost attribution, and cross-cluster incident detection across every environment your team operates.
