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 product@conduktor.io. 🎉 -Stephane

@stephanederosiaux this looks great! Congratulations on the launch I can’t wait to try it. Simplifying RBAC for Kafka sounds very nice 🙌

@justinmitchel Thanks Justin! Can't wait to hear your feedback!

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.

Hi @ari_bajo_rouvinen ! James here, Product Director at Conduktor, thank you for your support. To get started with Docker, you can copy the 1-line command on the conduktor.io/get-started page, alternatively you can visit the docs: https://docs.conduktor.io/platfo...
