Meet Conduktor Scale

Our Desktop product is reaching the end of its journey in 2025. But yours has just started. Say hi to Conduktor Scale—designed to grow with you, no matter where you are on your data streaming journey.

Join These Data Streaming Leaders Who Already Made the Transition

The migration to Conduktor Scale was pretty seamless and made user provisioning and access to Kafka much easier. Updates are now instantly available to everyone, and features like SSO integration and user group management, ease our operations and increase Kafka adoption.

Scot Mcphee, Platform Engineer at Virgin Australia

It’s time to reimagine what’s possible in Data Streaming

Thank you for shaping our products with your trust and feedback. After years of helping you utilize Kafka, Conduktor Desktop is stepping aside. Why? Because your needs have evolved—and so have we.

By the end of 2025, we’re saying goodbye to Desktop to focus on what matters most to our customers: team collaboration, rock-solid governance, and next-level scalability. 

We want you to meet Conduktor Scale: a centralized, web-based platform built for modern data streaming, delivering the security, speed, and performance your team needs to stay ahead.
