Expose event broker resources as secure, managed APIs with the Kong Event Gateway

[Get a Demo](/contact-sales)Get a Demo

Bring event brokers and real-time data streams under your API management umbrella with advanced protocol mediation, an event gateway, and message-level traffic shaping.

### Enforce consistent security standards

Use the same authorization protocols for Kafka event APIs as you do your REST APIs and other HTTP services, such as OAuth2, JWT, and more.

### Improve the developer experience

Enable developers to build real-time applications on top of secure, [documented Kafka event APIs](/blog/engineering/kafka-event-streaming-confluent-cloud)documented Kafka event APIs — all as a part of your internal developer platform.

### Productize your streaming data

Turn data streams into great customer experiences by packaging access to real-time data as self-service APIs in an API marketplace.

Create APIs that expose Kafka for client side API consumption.

No Kafka clients? No problem. Expose Kafka as consumer-friendly APIs so API consumers can leverage streaming however they prefer.

Enforce traffic shaping, security, and other logic at the message level using our advanced WebSockets plugins.

Publish self-service Kafka event APIs in the Kong Developer Portal so that developers can easily discover, learn about, and start consuming Kafka streams in their applications.
