Kong Inc. introduced Kong Event Gateway for managing real-time data streams powered by Apache Kafka.
The tool is part of Kong's platform called Konnect, used by over 700 companies, providing a single management solution for both APIs and Kafka-powered data streams.
The Kong Event Gateway acts as an intermediary between applications and Kafka data streams, providing authentication, encryption, and observability features.
It allows multiple workloads to share the same data stream without creating separate copies and offers Virtual Clusters for secure data access permissions.
