For Data Platforms Teams

Turn Kafka Into a Self-Service Developer Platform

Empower teams to build faster with AsyncAPI-driven, secure, and multi-tenant access to Kafka.

Accelerate innovation

Shift from tickets to real-time self-service.

Simplify integrations

AsyncAPI contracts ensure cross-team compatibility.

Delight developers

Consistent Kafka experience across protocols.

Strengthen governance

Apply fine-grained security, identity, and policy controls.

Why Kafka Slows  Teams Down Today

Data platform teams face a difficult balance: enabling fast access to Kafka while maintaining strict governance. Manual ticketing slows innovation. Uncontrolled access risks compliance. Developers need a modern platform experience.

Kafka skills gap slows adoption

aklivity Removes the Roadblocks

With the Zilla Data Platform, data teams get visibility, governance and control over their data-streaming deployments.

Self-Service Kafka Access

Provision and connect instantly through governed workflows, eliminating manual bottlenecks.

AsyncAPI-Major by Design

APIs and data products are standards-based and plug into the AsyncAPI ecosystem.

Great Kafka Developer Experience

Developers connect over Kafka, HTTP, gRPC, MQTT, and more.

Multi-Tenant Access to Kafka

Safely host multiple apps, teams, or partners on a shared Kafka cluster with full governance.

How it works

The Zilla Platform manages the full lifecycle of real-time data by turning raw Kafka topics into self-serviceable, governed data products.

Explore Your Data Streams

Once a Zilla gateway is deployed alongside your Kafka cluster, it establishes a secure connection with the management portal, allowing you to visualize and explore brokers, topics, schemas, consumer groups, ACLs, quotas, and more.

Generate AsyncAPI Specs

In a single click, extract AsyncAPI specifications from topics and schemas that describe and document your data streaming topology.

Design Governed Data Products

Take the extracted AsyncAPI specifications and turn them into API Data Products by locking down the schema while adding authorization, authentication, and rate limiting.

Deploy & Monitor

Deploy the designed Data Products to a self-serve catalog and share them across your organization and beyond. Monitor the usage, health, and security of your Data Products all in one place.

Unleash Your Developer Platform Initiatives

Govern, share and secure Real-Time Data at scale.

Generic API Gateway

Add latency overhead that slows down data  pipelines.
Limited or no native Kafka protocol support.
Designed for REST APIs, not real-time streaming.
Exposes security gaps when connecting external apps.
Keeps data teams stuck as gatekeepers instead of enablers.

Zilla Data Platform

Near-zero latency overhead, purpose-built for streaming speed.
Full native Kafka protocol support across workloads.
AsyncAPI-first design for real-time data products.
Secure external access with mTLS, masking, quotas, and isolation.
Empowers platform teams to enable developers safely at scale.
