Aklivity is pioneering next-generation API infrastructure for real-time data streams. Its evented open source API Gateway, “Zilla” (https://github.com/aklivity/zilla), provides a unified, external interface to event-driven services and data. Zilla natively supports a range of network and messaging protocols, including Kafka. This enables it to expose event-streams to clients over their APIs of choice. Non-Kafka apps can now publish and subscribe to Kafka topics without the need for intermediary brokers, services and even Kafka Connect. If you're running Amazon MSK, check out Aklivity's proxies that facilitate connecting Kafka clients to MSK brokers across the internet, VPCs and AWS accounts.
