Kpow v86 features improved Kpow snapshot compute performance and an updated Schema UI that shows AWS Glue schema status.
Compute Performance
Kpow is built to monitor and manage all of your Kafka resources, many of our users run multi-cluster, multi-connect, multi-schema installations of Kpow where there is quite a lot to monitor and manage! One part of our continuous delivery is keeping an eye on the CPU and Heap usage of our demo environment (2x MSK, 1x Connect, 2x Schema, 500 topics, 50 groups), we also work closely with a number of users with larger clusters to learn how we can improve Kpow's internal observation and computation engine.
Thanks to those users who helped us identify compute improvements we have seen a significant reduction in Kpow heap consumption with this release.

Release 95.1: A unified experience across product, web, docs and licensing
95.1 delivers a cohesive experience across Factor House products, licensing, and brand. This release introduces our new license portal, refreshed company-wide branding, a unified Community License for Kpow and Flex, and a series of performance, accessibility, and schema-related improvements.

Release 94.6: Factor Platform, Ververica Integration, and kJQ Enhancements
The first Factor Platform release candidate is here, a major milestone toward a unified control plane for real-time data streaming technologies. This release also introduces Ververica Platform integration in Flex, plus support for Kafka Clients 4.1 / Confluent 8.0.0 and new kJQ operators for richer stream inspection.

Release 94.5: New Factor House docs, enhanced data inspection and URP & KRaft improvements
This release introduces a new unified documentation hub - Factor House Docs. It also introduces major data inspection enhancements, including comma-separated kJQ Projection expressions, in-browser search, and over 15 new kJQ transforms and functions. Further improvements include more reliable cluster monitoring with improved Under-Replicated Partition (URP) detection, support for KRaft improvements, the flexibility to configure custom serializers per-cluster, and a resolution for a key consumer group offset reset issue.
