Kroxylicious
A snappy open-source proxy for Apache Kafka that enables encryption, multi-tenancy, and schema validation.
What is Kroxylicious?
Kroxylicious is an open-source proxy for Apache Kafka that intercepts and transforms Kafka protocol traffic between clients and brokers. It solves operational challenges by providing encryption, multi-tenancy, and schema validation without requiring changes to Kafka itself. The proxy acts as a transparent intermediary, enhancing security and manageability in Kafka deployments.
Kafka administrators, platform engineers, and developers managing enterprise Kafka clusters who need to add security, isolation, or validation features. It's also suitable for teams building custom Kafka integrations or extensions.
Developers choose Kroxylicious because it offers a lightweight, extensible way to add enterprise-grade features to Kafka without modifying brokers or clients. Its filter-based architecture allows custom transformations, and it's performance-optimized to minimize latency, making it a practical solution for production environments.
