Karapace¶

Karapace is your perfect companion to Apache Kafka, adding REST API and schema handling functionality.

Open source tools mean that you can always use and adapt any tool yourself. Whether you’re planning to use a managed provider or host Karapace in-house, you’re free to join the development and direction of the project.

REST API adds a powerful HTTP interface to your Apache Kafka services.

Schema hub provides the schema registry services for your data schema versions. With support for Avro, JSON Schema and Protobuf data formats.

Broad adoption as Karapace is trusted, operated at scale and actively developed by some of the biggest Apache Kafka service providers around. It’s battle-tested and serving many organisations well.

Reliable with a leader/replica architecture to ensure high availability and sane load-balancing.
