Conduktor Gateway is a network proxy for Apache Kafka, complete with an extensible and dynamic plugin mechanism that can be used to add technical and business logic on top of your existing Kafka deployment.

​
Gateway benefits

This can be used to provide functionality that is not available in Kafka natively, such as:
  • Centrally configure encryption at the field-level or full payload.
  • Mask sensitive data at the proxy layer.
  • Enforce governance and traffic control policies — rate limits, data quality rules, topic creation constraints.
  • Leverage multi-tenancy with Virtual Clusters and topic concentration.
  • Empower development teams with self-service governance.
Supports all Kafka providers (Confluent, AWS MSK, Redpanda, Aiven, Apache Kafka). Gateway is one of the main Conduktor components and together with Console make up the Conduktor platform: Conduktor overview
