Salary benchmarks
Our take
Event streaming platform Apache Kafka facilitates high-throughput management of real-time data feeds, and has become a crucial facet for many of the Fortune 100. However, as it becomes more complex - and with technical talent thin on the ground right now - there’s an opening for tools that can simplify the user experience.
This is precisely the niche Conduktor is hoping to fill, with its all-in-one GUI for Apache Kafka. The product helps enterprises more easily manage and monitor different Kafka clusters, applications, and microservices. Simply put, it cuts back on the need for in-depth engineering talent, without compromising on operational quality.
So far, the company has won nearly 100,000 dev customers across over 12,000 companies, including DraftKings and Olo. Although other startups such as Lenses also offer Kafka-specific UIs, Conduktor has built a strong foundation and has the chance to stand out in the market so long as its platform remains competitively feature-rich.
