With the growth of Apache Kafka adoption in all major streaming initiatives across large organizations, the operational and visibility challenges associated with Kafka are on the rise as well. Kafka users want better visibility in understanding what is going on in the clusters as well as within the stream flows across producers, topics, brokers, and consumers.
With no tools in the market that readily address the challenges of the Kafka Ops teams, the development teams, and the security/governance teams, Hortonworks Streams Messaging Manager is a game-changer.
