Review on kPow for Apache Kafka by Christian Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Confluent Control Center - A must have tool for any Cloud native environment

We have used this product to monitor our production environment which has more than 100 nodes in it with 1000s of topics/partitions (around 300 GB data).

It helped us quickly identify any issues we were having at runtime without needing an expert engineer or manual intervention from time intervals as before using other tools like confluent control center etc.,We can easily see all relevant metrics about each node alongwith details such logs generated by consumers & producers so far within last few hours if needed too! There's nothing bad I would say but just try out once its free edition first then upgrade only when you feel comfortable enough since they offer paid version also now after some months!! If your looking into continuous integration / deployment platform - definitely go through their demo video where i think there was mention made somewhere regarding Docker usage while doing CI deployments via docker compose file format.- Continuous Integration : Helps me build my code everytime whenever changes are done either locally OR remotely.

Pros
  • Fastest way ever, very less latency
  • Great UI looks much appealing comparing rest others similar products available over market place that doesn't worth spending money even though goodlooking ! :)
Cons
  • Nothing , still waiting eagerly hoping one day will get them onboarded soon
