Data transformation 💪
Transform and filter records in real-time with the power of JavaScript.
- Use JavaScript to filter and transform data
- Stateful calculations supported (e.g., averages, grouping)
- Runs in real-time

Create & share data reports
Views allow you to save and share individual data extracts and create reports based on filtering criteria and transformations.
- Create a report that shows your critical data sets.
- Easily access the report on a daily basis or share it with your colleagues.
- Also ideal for giving non-technical users customized views into the data.
- Spreadsheet-like UI with columns, sorting, and filtering.
- Export as CSV if desired.

Codecs & auto-detection
KaDeck contains multiple codecs for key and values, as well as the headers of your records. Our auto-detection mechanism lets you directly dive into your topics without configuring codecs in advance.
For consumption and ingestion:
- JSON Codec
- Avro Codec
- String Codec
- Integer Codec
- Float Codec
- Long Codec
- Double Codec
For consumption only:
- Avro Embedded Codec
- Avro Topic Record Strategy Codec¹
- Avro Record Strategy Codec¹
- CSV Codec for single and multi-line CSV
You can implement your own custom codecs to add support for custom data types to KaDeck.
¹ This codec supports “subject naming strategy”, which doesn’t constrain the records in your topics to only one Avro schema per key and value, but lets you use multiple Avro schemas in one topic.

Connectivity and security 📡
KaDeck is capable of managing multiple environments and supports Apache Kafka and Amazon Kinesis.
KaDeck supports various security mechanisms to connect to your Apache Kafka brokers and the Schema Registry securely.
- SSL with optional custom keystore
