Platform advertises Kafka and PostgreSQL standards integration. ## Console’s review — 2023-07-06 Reviewed: 2023-07-06 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Deployed as a single (C++) binary - no JVM. No Zookeeper. Use any Kafka library. Comes with a web console out of the box and can be managed via a CLI (which includes tuning features). Built-in schema registry. Prometheus endpoints. Tiered storage to offload to object storage. Run it yourself, in the cloud, or bring your own cloud. ### Tradeoffs Schema registry functionality is limited to registration - does not do any deep schema validation and docs are limited about how to use it with Kafka SDKs.
