Manage access, enable discovery and promote sharing and reuse of events from anything that implements the Kafka Protocol
Describe, socialize and secure access to your events
Event Endpoint Management simplifies access to event streams across any Kafka-compatible broker, accelerating event-driven application development. It standardizes event descriptions using AsyncAPI, enables secure sharing via a self-service catalog, and unifies governance across all Kafka clusters through a single control plane.
Easily document your event sources according the AsyncAPI specification and help users to quickly and efficiently interpret data and get started on new projects. Don’t waste time searching for access credentials, certificates, Kafka clusters and topics in your organization.
Organize events in a single catalog to increase topic visibility and ensure events are easily discoverable. Promote the sharing and reuse of events to innovate faster with the freedom to explore.
Secure your business events and enable self-service access with custom policy-based controls. Extended teams can safely try out new ideas with credentials for role-based access.
Features
All of your business events are under one catalog so they are understandable and ready to consume. Anyone can use topic tags to easily search and find related topics. Subscribe to a topic with a few clicks to get a unique username and password for instant access.
To address security needs, event endpoint management provides application access only over TLS/SSL and allows only approved subscribers to access topics. It provides customizable audit to preferred regulatory requirements and the ability to have different front facing and back facing security models.
Event endpoint management provides cluster protection, consumer isolation, and interface versioning to decouple your systems and increase flexibility. The event gateway also rewrites and transforms requests going between applications and Kafka clusters, making it easier for admins to rework the underlying infrastructure.
Events should include a description, schema and sample message so that users can quickly understand what they are and how to consume them. Event endpoint management allows you to describe events in a standardized way according to the AsyncAPI specification. With its intuitive UI, it makes it easy to produce a valid AsyncAPI document for any Kafka cluster or system that adheres to the Kafka protocol.
Manage event sources like APIs to securely reuse them across the enterprise. Event endpoint management can integrate with IBM API Connect®, allowing you to manage your events and APIs in one place. This provides wider lifecycle management (dev, test, prod) and follows a topic/plan/product design for all your synchronous and asynchronous endpoints.
