Zilla Platform

Zilla Platform is a streaming-native management console that transforms real-time data into governed, consumable Data Products.

Architecture

The Zilla Platform Architecture is structured around three primary planes: Management Plane, Control Plane, and Data Plane.

Each plane has a distinct role but works in concert to provide a unified environment for designing, governing, and operating real-time Data Products.

Why Zilla Platform

By separating concerns across these three planes, Zilla Platform delivers:

• Centralized governance – productization, access, and policy management are unified rather than fragmented across tools.
• Seamless policy flow – design-time rules and policies translate directly into runtime enforcement.
• Developer self-service – both internal developers and external partners can reliably and securely consume Data Products without depending on platform teams.
• Spec as Infra – AsyncAPI and OpenAPI specifications become the single source of truth, driving both design-time governance and runtime enforcement.

What Zilla Platform Enables

Zilla Platform enables teams to:

• Explore Kafka Clusters
• Extract AsyncAPI specifications
• Design APIs and Data products
• Deploy Data Products into environments

Who Zilla Platform is for

• Data Product Owner – governs and publishes Data Products
• Data Product Consumer – discovers and consumes internal Data Products
• External Partner – securely accesses published APIs and services
