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.
The unified Factor House Community License works with both Kpow Community Edition and Flex Community Edition, meaning one license will unlock both products. This makes it even simpler to explore modern data streaming tools, create proof-of-concepts, and evaluate our products.

Streamline your Kpow deployment on Amazon EKS with our guide, fully integrated with the AWS Marketplace. We use eksctl to automate IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA), providing a secure integration for Kpow's licensing and metering. This allows your instance to handle license validation via AWS License Manager and report usage for hourly subscriptions, enabling a production-ready deployment with minimal configuration.
The first Factor Platform release candidate is here, a major milestone toward a unified control plane for real-time data streaming technologies.

This guide demonstrates how to set up Kpow with NetApp Instaclustr using a practical example. We deploy a Kafka cluster with the Karapace Schema Registry add-on and a Kafka Connect cluster, then use Kpow to deploy custom connectors and manage an end-to-end data pipeline.
We’re building more than products, we’re building a community. Whether you're getting started or pushing the limits of what's possible with Kafka and Flink, we invite you to connect, share, and learn with others.
