//Event Gateway
Govern event stream accesswithout changing your brokers.
A governed gateway in front of Kafka and other brokers, so teams can securely expose, control, and reuse real-time data.
Access
No broker client required
Apps, partners, and agents consume streams without Kafka clients or broker credentials.
Drift
No more custom connectors
One governed path instead of one-off bridges with their own auth and limits.
Governance
Governance per consumer
Onboarding, subscriptions, and usage visibility that broker ACLs can't provide.
//Overview
What is an event gateway?
An event gateway sits in front of event brokers such as Kafka and controls who can produce and consume which streams, applying authentication, policy and transformation without changes to the brokers.
The DataObserve Sense event gateway connects your brokers, governs stream access per consumer, applies runtime policies and exposes streams for reuse, including to AI agents, with no broker client required.
