The platform

Axual provides you with a Kafka platform that combines operational efficiency with the governance and resilience required for mission-critical data flows. Unlike DIY implementations that postpone governance considerations until complexity becomes unmanageable, our platform integrates comprehensive controls from day one.

Benefits of Axual Platform

Axual's governance capabilities enable technical teams to create and manage their own topics, data streams, and schemas within well-defined organizational boundaries. This balance of freedom and control accelerates innovation while maintaining architectural standards; essential for regulated environments where compliance isn't optional.

Complete Operational Control

Our platform gives you visibility and control across the entire Kafka ecosystem with role-based access management, audit capabilities, and deployment flexibility. This ensures you maintain architectural autonomy while reducing the operational burden of Kafka management.

Future-Proof Architecture

Built in Europe for mission-critical data flows, Axual provides the governance foundation that DIY Kafka implementations inevitably lack. Our platform combines open source flexibility with enterprise control, ensuring your architecture remains compliant without vendor lock-in as requirements evolve.

Proven Production Reliability

Implemented at organizations like Eneco, TenneT, and Rabobank, Axual delivers the performance and reliability required for systems that cannot fail. Built on Strimzi, our European platform processes billions of events daily with the governance, security, and resilience demanded by mission-critical operations.

Streaming

Axual Streaming delivers production-grade Apache Kafka built on Strimzi with patterns refined through mission-critical implementations. Our platform maintains millisecond latency while processing billions of daily events, supporting on-premise and hybrid deployments for organizations requiring data sovere ignty, predictable performance, and integration with existing security frameworks; capabilities that cloud-only approaches often cannot deliver.

Governance

Axual Governance integrates role-based access control, schema management, and audit capabilities directly into your Kafka architecture; addressing security and compliance requirements that DIY implementations typically defer. The platform enforces separation of duties through granular permission structures, maintains schema registry governance to ensure data quality, and provides comprehensive audit trails that document all configuration changes and access patterns across your streaming infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Axual deploys on standard Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift environments with full multi-cluster support for geographical distribution and disaster recovery. The platform’s architecture separates the control plane (Governance) from the data plane (Kafka brokers) components, allowing independent scaling and maintenance while maintaining unified management. This separation enables deployments across security and availability zones, minimizes latency through regional distribution, and ensures infrastructure alignment with your existing network topology and security policies

Connectors

Axual's managed Kafka Connect framework features a curated catalog of pre-built connectors for databases, messaging systems, cloud storage, and APIs. Credentials are securely stored in HashiCorp Vault, while self-service deployment capabilities enable teams to establish governed data flows between Kafka and existing systems, maintaining consistent security and audit controls across all integration points.

“We were at a crossroads, with legacy technology preventing a solid digital transformation, and an ambitious strategy for customer centricity underlining requirements for becoming data-driven. We really needed the Axual platform to allow us to make the leap.”

Roger Stoffers

"Data governance is critical at Rabobank. With Axual, we’re able to see who has permission, who owns the data, or if the owner has given permission and what the structure of the messages are.”

Vincent Oostindië
Rabobank

Axual has a clear focus on making Kafka usuable as a self-service platform. It enables teams to do their own thing in a controlled way. At the same time they provide a manageable platform on the infra side so that we can run it on-prem.

Deployment

Text around deployment

Axual’s containerized architecture deploys through Helm charts and Strimzi operators across diverse infrastructure environments. The decoupled control and data places enable distribution across security zones and geographic regions while maintaining unified governance, allowing you to implement governed Kafka streams within existing infrastructure constraints rather than forcing architectural adaptation.

On Premise

Deploy Axual directly within your data centers for maximum control and governance. Our platform runs natively on both standard Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift environments, integrating with your existing infrastructure. Ensuring complete data sovereignty and architectural control for mission-critical Kafka implementations.

Cloud

Deploy Axual in your preferred cloud environment, either in your own Virtual Private Cloud for enhanced security or as a fully managed SaaS offering for operational efficiency. Both options deliver enterprise-grade Kafka while integrating with your cloud-native architecture and Kubernetes infrastructure.
