Product demos
Real features on real Apache Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg workloads, walked through end to end.
Featured
Three demos that give the fastest overview of what Kpow does.
Kpow Featured Kpow CLI, terminal UI, and agentic skills
Chad Harris previews Kpow's new CLI and terminal UI for Apache Kafka, plus the agentic skills that let an AI assistant query, diagnose, and operate Kafka through Kpow under your own SSO and RBAC.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Featured Apache Kafka data inspection & search: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through data inspection in Kpow: filtering topic data with kJQ, running high-volume streaming searches with no scan limit, narrowing scans by partition or key, and downloading, cloning, or producing result sets to other topics.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Featured Apache Kafka cluster health monitoring: Kpow demo
Chad Harris digs into Signals in Kpow: an overall cluster health score tracked over time, a real example of partition data skew from a poor partitioning key, cost-saving cleanup signals, and what's coming next for signal muting and alerting.

Governance & security
How Kpow controls who can see and touch your Kafka data: masking, RBAC, SSO, audit trails, temporary access, and tenant configuration.
Kpow Apache Kafka data masking & PII protection: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through data masking in Kpow: last-four, full, and email-domain masking rules applied during data inspection, and the data policy playground for testing redaction rules like show-first and hashing before rolling them out.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka RBAC & multi-tenancy: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through tenancy and role-based access control in Kpow: scoping a virtual cluster view down to a single team's topics and metrics, governed by SSO and fine-grained RBAC.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka access policies & SSO: Kpow demo
Chad Harris covers access policy configuration in Kpow: exactly which permissions are assigned to the role currently logged in, and how SSO integration with OAuth, SAML, Entra ID, and other providers drives permission assignment from your existing identity roles and groups.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka audit logging: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through audit logging in Kpow: how every meaningful action is recorded on a Kafka topic you can inspect directly, tracing an entry back to the exact query and data it exposed, and forwarding audit events to Slack, Teams, or a SIEM via webhook.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka temporary access & just-in-time permissions: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through time-boxed, API-driven permissions in Kpow: granting scoped access to a role for a set duration that expires automatically, and wiring temporary policies to a service desk like Jira or ServiceNow for just-in-time approval workflows.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka tenant configuration: Kpow demo
Chad Harris covers how tenant configuration works in Kpow, building on the RBAC and multi-tenancy overview from earlier in this series: admin versus team-member access, scoping a team to a single tenant by default, and configuring it all through a simple YAML file.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kafka management & operations
Day-to-day visibility and control across brokers, topics, consumer groups, Kafka Connect, schema registry, and cluster health, including the CLI and Signals.
Kpow Apache Kafka data inspection & search: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through data inspection in Kpow: filtering topic data with kJQ, running high-volume streaming searches with no scan limit, narrowing scans by partition or key, and downloading, cloning, or producing result sets to other topics.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka broker monitoring & configuration: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through monitoring and managing brokers in Kpow: disk, throughput and replication health at a glance, filtering and exporting broker/topic tables, safely editing broker configuration under RBAC, and KRaft controller info and ACL management.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka consumer group monitoring & lag: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through consumer group monitoring in Kpow: tracking group stability over time, breaking lag down to the partition level, safely resetting or skipping offsets on a running group, and using group topology to trace lag back to a host or topic.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka topic management: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through topic management in Kpow: truncating data by offset, electing leaders, increasing partitions, break-glass config changes like retention, and topic-level ACLs and reassignments, all gated by RBAC.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka cluster health monitoring: Kpow demo
Chad Harris digs into Signals in Kpow: an overall cluster health score tracked over time, a real example of partition data skew from a poor partitioning key, cost-saving cleanup signals, and what's coming next for signal muting and alerting.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Kafka Connect monitoring and tasks: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through Kafka Connect in Kpow: connector and task state at a glance, historical health charts, deploying connectors from the UI, and bulk-restarting a subset of tasks.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Apache Kafka schema registry management: Kpow demo
Chad Harris walks through schema registry management in Kpow, which connects to Confluent, Karapace, MSK, and other registries: viewing and editing schemas, creating new revisions, updating compatibility settings, and creating or deleting subjects.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Kpow CLI, terminal UI, and agentic skills
Chad Harris previews Kpow's new CLI and terminal UI for Apache Kafka, plus the agentic skills that let an AI assistant query, diagnose, and operate Kafka through Kpow under your own SSO and RBAC.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Governed agentic Kafka operations powered by Kpow
Chad Harris shows how Kpow delivers governed, agentic Kafka operations using the Factor CLI with Claude: diagnosing a failing connector, proving a service is consuming data, and finding the most lagging topic.
Chad Harris, Factor House
Kpow Kpow Signals: automated operational insights
Chad Harris introduces Signals, a new Kpow feature that continuously monitors your Kafka clusters for misconfigurations and early warning signs, so you catch problems before they break something.
