Kafka desktop engineering workspace

See the whole Kafka story. Then act on it.

Deep investigation without the toolchain sprawl.

Stream, replay, tag, filter, inspect, reconstruct, test, and manage Kafka data in one desktop workspace. Autocomplete, schema-aware tools, reusable samples, playbooks, and session controls turn live evidence into repeatable action.

Built for real Kafka work

Move from raw messages to an understandable system

Keep the evidence, the workflow, and the tools to act on it in the same place.

Live Views & investigations

Reconstruct what happened across the entire flow

Bring related topics into one chronological view, replay the exact historical window, and inspect the message that explains what happened next.

  • Follow up to 30 topics together
  • Switch between tables, custom views, and flow charts
  • Keep playback evidence available across restarts

Repeatable testing

Turn real data into controlled test workflows

Capture, edit, validate, and resend realistic samples without rebuilding payloads by hand.

Operational playbooks

Automate the setup and reset work around testing

Build reusable playbooks for copying data, preparing topics, and repeating environment workflows.

One connected toolkit

Everything around the message, not just another topic browser

Investigate live or historical flows, filter JSON and XML, retain working context, and turn real messages into repeatable tests.

Manual Testing

Edit and resend real messages fast

Inspect and carefully edit real messages, save them into favorite tabs in workflow order, and resend them to a topic. Session variables can generate correlation IDs and set other shared data across a workflow, keeping manual testing and retesting fast, repeatable, and controlled.
Live Views & Forensics

Reconstruct cross-topic journeys

Combine up to 30 topics into one chronological live timeline, or replay a precise historical window for incident investigation and forensic analysis. Tested per-topic filters, a temporary Session filter, and the activity-aware Flow Chart help reveal the journey through the wider process.
Playback & Filtering

Focus on the records that matter

Use powerful Streamyard Language filters without learning the syntax—AI Assist builds them for JSON, XML, keys, headers, and metadata. Test, save, and reuse cloud-synced filters across topics and environments.
Cloud Sync

Carry your saved Kafka workflow with you

Synchronize filter presets and valid history, custom result views, playbooks, samples, folders, and Live Views through Bunny Storage. Move between computers without rebuilding your investigation toolkit, while connections and credentials remain local.
JSON & XML

Work with structured payloads end to end

Filter deeply nested or namespaced XML with the same SL experience used for JSON, inspect colorized payloads, build columns from structured fields, and preserve XML text through JSON or NDJSON envelopes and raw XML import/export.
Investigations

Keep investigation context

Keep persisted playback data visible on topics so your investigation context is still there after reconnects and restarts. Open popout windows on the same connection and switch views instantly without losing what is already in front of you.
Data Samples

Create complex samples for reliability tests

Build reusable payload samples with business-style data patterns so realistic manual testing is faster to set up and repeat, then play them back in different ways and quantities across topics.
Playbooks

Run repeatable workflow scripts

Use playbooks for setup, reset, import, copy, and environment workflows whether you are running local tests or working in large shared environments with your own topics.
