Unlock the verified intelligence before you decide
Akema, from Binjy, is a read-only inspector for Apache Kafka. You browse live topics, trap matching messages with CEL expressions and chart a window of traffic with DuckDB in the browser, without storing message content on disk. Developers, QA engineers, SRE and data teams run it as a self-hosted binary or Docker container.
Who should use
Buyer-fit is derived from approved personas and use-case evidence. Search-volume noise stays labeled separately.
Best-fit workflows
- Traps payment-error events on a live topic with a CEL expression and counts them.
- Decodes Avro or Protobuf messages through Schema Registry or uploaded .avsc and .proto files.
- Charts a window of topic traffic with DuckDB SQL in the browser for an incident review.
- Pseudonymizes personal data fields before messages are shown, trapped or charted.
- Replays a CSV or JSON fixture without a cluster to explore message shapes offline.
- Backend developers who need to see what a service actually wrote to a topic, because Akema decodes JSON, Avro and Protobuf messages with key, headers, offset and timestamp.
Pricing reality
Vendor stated
A free Replay mode covers CSV and JSON fixtures, and new downloads get a 14-day offline trial with live Kafka and no sign-up. The paid Solo plan is licensed per node with a machine-bound license file.
Actual cost
Live cluster inspection after the trial needs a paid license for each node, and the Team plan with MCP and agent features is still listed as coming next.
