Confluent Gateway

This repository hosts the docker image for deploying and running Confluent Gateway⁠.

Confluent Gateway is a stateless, self-managed, on-premise Gateway product that is Kafka protocol aware and helps decouple your client applications from your streaming infrastructure. When deployed between clients and Kafka clusters, Gateway acts as an intelligent routing and centralised governance enforcement layer. As a self-managed solution, it gives you full control over deployment, configuration and operations while integrating seamlessly with your existing streaming infrastructure. It is a Gateway add-on product you could purchase on top of your existing Confluent Platform subscription.

Confluent Gateway helps you:

• Enable future migrations to Confluent without client changes.
• Enable on-premise Disaster Recovery Switch from one unhealthy cluster to another healthy cluster without client changes and hence achieve significant reduction in RTO.
• Enable Secure External Partner Access for a private Confluent cluster.
• Enable Custom domains for your Kafka listeners.
• Enable Blue-Green upgrades from an earlier CP Server Kafka version to a latest CP Server Kafka version.
• Enable Centralised Governance Enforcement with Schema enforcement, Deep Schema Validation, Field Level Encryption and Full Payload Encryption.
