What's the difference between Console Community and Scale Licenses?
The Community license is our free edition for developers and small teams, offering core Kafka operations, monitoring, and data exploration for up to 50 users and 3 clusters. The Console Scale license adds full governance and observability, Self-Service with approval workflows, and unlimited users and clusters.
What's the difference between Console and Gateway?
Console is our web-based platform for Kafka operations, monitoring, and governance. Gateway is a proxy layer that sits between your applications and Kafka, enabling traffic control, encryption, data quality enforcement, and secure external data sharing.
Do I need Gateway if I have Console?
No, Console and Gateway are independent products. Many teams start with Console for operations and monitoring, then add Gateway when they need enforcement capabilities like encryption, data quality rules, or partner data sharing.
What Kafka providers and deployment models are supported?
Both Console and Gateway work with any Kafka provider — Confluent, AWS MSK, Redpanda, and more. Both are deployed on-premise or on Kubernetes; there is no cloud-hosted dependency. Metrics can be exported via Prometheus, and all features are accessible through the OpenAPI and CLI.
What type of support is provided?
All Enterprise customers receive Silver support at no additional charge, which includes direct access to our dedicated support team. Gold support is an available option that adds dedicated customer success engineers plus quarterly partnership reviews with our product team. Community users can connect through our Slack channel and submit help tickets.
