Conduktor is the data hub for operational data and AI that integrates with your existing infrastructure, providing centralized visibility and control.

It's a fully self-hosted solution that depends on Docker to run. You can [get started for free](https://www.conduktor.io/get-started) <Icon icon="up-right-from-square" /> with [Console Community Edition](/guide/conduktor-in-production/manage-licenses/console-community-edition) or [Gateway Community Edition](/guide/conduktor-in-production/manage-licenses/gateway-community-edition).

Conduktor has two products — **Console** and **Gateway**. Each works on its own, or together.

* **Conduktor Console** provides a powerful UI that lets you manage essential Kafka tasks and beyond:
