Equip your engineers with the tools they need to build real-time systems with confidence.

kJQ search across hundreds of topics in seconds. Filter by key, header, or message content with JQ-like syntax. Regex topic matching, multi-topic search, streaming search for live debugging. No throwaway consumers.

Manage topics, ACLs, consumer groups, schemas, and connectors in one place. Create, inspect, edit, delete. Reset offsets, skip poison pills, reassign partitions, diff schema versions. Full lifecycle, full audit trail.

Monitor consumer lag by partition, host, and broker. Real-time dashboards surface under-replicated partitions, stalled consumers, and throughput bottlenecks. Prometheus endpoints feed your existing observability stack.

Chad Harris, Engineering Lead

“I am grateful for the empathy and passion the Factor House team has shown in partnering with Airwallex to better understand our pain points to help drive the evolution of this brilliant product.”

Alex Hilton, Chief of Staff-Technology

“Kpow is not only intuitive and user-friendly, but it also saves us time, and our developers like using it. If there's a problem with our Kafka system, there's no better way to track than with Kpow. If you know Kafka, you should know Kpow.”

Krishnakumar Arjunan, Solutions Architect, Pickles

"Kpow has improved how we communicate Kafka to the rest of the IT team and the business. It has helped us assess what we may need to do in the future and identify issues related to development and infrastructure standards. Deploying it in our ecosystem has given us much greater perspective about Kafka and how our whole system is operating at any given time. If I want to see anything in our cluster, I can now go to Kpow first."

Douglas Reith, Team Lead, Pepperstone

“Kpow is built by a team with a passion for Kafka, but who also carry the scars of some tough implementations. It's a tool by and for engineers, and offers our team the simplest, quickest, most cost‑effective way to access their data and works seamlessly with Amazon MSK. It will be a key part of our infrastructure as long as we're using Kafka.”

Euan Walker, CTO, Verrency

Rapid Kafka Diagnostics: A Unified Workflow for Root Cause Analysis

The Context Gap caused by fragmented tools hinders effective Kafka monitoring and troubleshooting, as it forces engineers to manually piece together logs and metrics. This guide demonstrates how to close that gap using Kpow's unified workflow to identify the stall, inspect the data, and resolve the incident in a single interface.
