Why Aklivity
Data Management
Re-Imagined for
Real-Time
Govern, deliver, and scale real-time data products across protocols with near-zero latency overhead.
Streaming-Native
Governance-First
Multi-Protocol
Powering APIs at Global Data Driven Organizations
From Data Streams to Data Sprawl
As you scale with Apache Kafka and streaming data, complexity piles up. Access is inconsistent, security is fragmented, and each new consumer demands custom pipelines and brittle connectors. Governance slips, visibility fades, and overhead grows, leaving you with a fragile architecture that slows teams and increases operational risk.
The Challenges of Real-Time
Streams aren't just "faster APIs." Existing data and API Management tools can't keep up.
Impact
Increased risk of data breaches and non-compliance with regulations
Manual, error-prone policy enforcement
Impact
Downstream disruption resulting from non-conformant data entering pipelines
Violated governance rules leading to audit failures and regulatory risk
Impact
Long lead times to onboard new apps or partners
Higher engineering cost from maintaining redundant connectors and configs
Impact
Blind spots in performance monitoring
Delayed detection of failures
Impact
Developers can’t find or reuse existing data and APIs
Duplicated effort, inconsistent data definitions
Impact
Consumers unknowingly using deprecated topics
Increased maintenance burden
Streaming-Native
Built for the Streaming Era
API infrastructure built-from the ground up that is streaming-native, cloud-native, and multi-protocol by design — not retrofitted from REST-era gateways.
Streaming-native
Built around Apache Kafka as a first-class citizen. Processes events at line-rate, adding near-zero latency overhead.
Multi-protocol
Translates between Kafka, REST, gRPC, WebSockets, SSE, and MQTT — with shared identity and policy enforcement.
Cloud-native
Sateless, horizontally scalable, and deployable anywhere: Kubernetes, containers or VMs.
Governance-first
Enforces schema validation, access control, and encryption across all protocols and data formats.
The Only Platform You Need For Streaming APIs
Aklivity helps enterprises ship faster, simplify operations, and secure data — all while scaling effortlessly.
Accelerate delivery
Launch governed APIs and event streams in hours, not weeks.
Reduce operational cost
Lower the complexity of connecting clients to Kafka and other streaming platforms.
Improve security & compliance
Enforce consistent identity, access, and data masking across all endpoints.
Maximize reuse
Publish APIs/data products once, consume them anywhere and in any protocol.
Scale without bottlenecks
Handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads without introducing chokepoints.

Why aklivity?
With Aklivity, organizations get the best of both worlds: the governance and discoverability of API management, combined with the performance and flexibility needed for modern, real-time streaming architectures.
Capability |  | Traditional API Management | Homegrown Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
Streaming-native | Built for Kafka & events from the gorund up | ❌ REST-first, limited streaming support | ⚠️ Custom, inconsistent impl |
Multi-protocol | Kafka, REST, SSE, gRPC, MQTT | ⚠️ Often limited to REST | ⚠️ Hard to maintain across protocols |
Performance | Near-zero latency overhead | ❌ Significant added latency | ⚠️ Depends on in-house expertise |
Governance | Unified identity, policy, and schema enforcement | ⚠️ Focused on REST; patchy for streams | ⚠️ Built for Kafka & events from the gorund up |
Scalability | Stateles, cloud-native | ⚠️ Monolithic designs struggle at scale | ⚠️ Scaling is complex and costly |
Time-to-market | Hours | ❌ Weeks/months | ⚠️ Variable, often slow |
“Zilla Plus gave us exactly what we needed — secure, Kafka-native connectivity to our private MSK clusters from anywhere, without compromising security or building custom integrations. It’s accelerated our project delivery and simplified how we connect critical business systems across our ecosystem.”
