Govern, Share & Scale
Real-Time Data Products
Bring governance, observability, and self-service access to your data streaming deployment on Kafka.
Key Concepts
Workspaces
Organize API specs and data products by team or domain.
→Environments
Connect Kafka clusters and manage gateway deployments.
→API Catalog
Publish and discover governed real-time APIs and data products.
→Data Products
Versioned, governed API definitions backed by AsyncAPI specs.
→AsyncAPI
Event-driven API standards powering design and runtime enforcement.
→Applications
Secure client identities with managed credentials and subscriptions.
→Shift Left
Move governance and validation to the edge, before events reach consumers.
→Architecture
Management, Control, and Data Plane — three-tier streaming architecture.
→What Zilla Platform Enables
Explore Kafka Clusters
Visualize brokers, topics, schemas, consumer groups, ACLs, and quotas through a unified management console.
Publish Data Products
Expose governed Kafka streams as versioned API products with built-in auth, rate limiting, and schema validation.
Consume APIs Securely
Self-service subscriptions with managed credentials.
How It Works
Turn raw Kafka topics into governed, deployed API Products in four steps.
Connect to Kafka clusters and browse live topics, schemas, and consumer groups.
Generate AsyncAPI specifications directly from real topic traffic.
Build governed Data Products in workspaces with versioned API specs.
Publish to Zilla Gateways that validate and govern access at the edge.
Who It's For
Platform & Kafka Engineers
Centralize governance and share Kafka infrastructure across teams without building custom integrations.
Data Product Owners
Design, version, and publish governed API products from AsyncAPI specs in minutes, not weeks.
API Consumers
Self-service access to real-time data streams using familiar protocols — no Kafka expertise required.
