//Event Management
Control, secure, andproductize your Kafka streams.
Make your Kafka event streams agent-ready, with the security, governance, and access control your organization requires.
Agents
Give agents live context
Agents need live, streaming context, through a governed gateway rather than raw Kafka.
Access
Access control without tribal knowledge
Who can produce or consume which topics, managed in one place instead of scripts and broker configs.
Risk
Every new consumer, safely onboarded
Partners and tools get scoped access you can see and revoke.
Kafka was built for speed. Not for control.
A governed gateway for every Kafka consumer, human or AI.
//Overview
What is event stream management?
Event stream management secures, governs and productises real-time event streams, such as Kafka topics, so more teams and AI agents can consume them without each one needing direct broker access and tribal knowledge.
DataObserve Sense puts a governed gateway in front of Kafka: it virtualises topics, mediates to consumer protocols, enforces rules-based policies and publishes streams to a portal, reducing Kafka costs and onboarding risk.
//How it works
From raw Kafka to governed,AI-ready event streams.
Step 1
Connect your broker
Register Kafka streams in the catalog as agent-ready tools.
//The control plane your Kafka was missing
Security, governance and cost in one gateway
Enhanced security
Access control, auth mediation, and message-level encryption.
Improved governance
Every data flow visible, for every consumer type.
Lower Kafka costs
Virtual topics and compression cut partition sprawl.
Fast access for devs and agents
Self-service topics through a portal.

//FAQs
Event Management: questions teams ask
What is a Kafka gateway?
A Kafka gateway sits between consumers and Kafka brokers to authenticate, authorise, transform and log access, without changing the brokers themselves.
What are virtual topics?
Virtual topics present a filtered, renamed or merged view of physical Kafka topics, so consumers see only the data they are allowed to use.
Can consumers use protocols other than Kafka?
Yes. Topics can be exposed as REST, WebSocket, SSE or webhooks, so no Kafka client is needed.
Does it need changes to our Kafka brokers?
No. The gateway works in front of your existing brokers.
