## Managing complex Kafka environments creates chaos without the right controls.

### High operational complexity

Managing complex Kafka environments requires manual effort and creates bottlenecks.

### Missed opportunities

The inability to securely share real-time data locks out partner collaboration.

### Poor data quality

Low-quality, inconsistent data introduces inaccuracies to analytics and AI models.

## Why Cloudera + Conduktor

- **Ship faster** — Self-service Kafka access removes bottlenecks so teams can deliver new use cases in days
- **Monetize data** — Share streaming data with partners securely, without duplication or infrastructure exposure
- **Trust the data** — Validate and govern data at the source so downstream apps and AI models stay reliable

- **Secure Data Sharing** — Share real-time data with partners without exposing infrastructure or duplicating streams.
- **Cost Attribution** — Know which teams and applications drive Kafka costs for accurate chargeback.
- **Business Continuity** — Automatic failover and DR capabilities keep streaming apps running.
- **AI-Ready Pipelines** — Clean, validated data at the source protects AI models from garbage in.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does Conduktor integrate with Cloudera?**

Conduktor connects to Kafka clusters running on Cloudera Data Platform. It adds a governance and self-service layer on top of your existing infrastructure without requiring changes to your Kafka deployment.

**Can Conduktor help with streaming lakehouse architectures?**

Yes. Conduktor Gateway, a Kafka proxy, validates and transforms data in-flight, ensuring clean data flows into your lakehouse. This protects downstream analytics and AI workloads from data quality issues.

**How does Conduktor enable secure data sharing with partners?**

Conduktor Gateway lets you expose specific topics to external partners without revealing your internal infrastructure. You control exactly what data partners can access, with full audit trails.

**Does Conduktor support disaster recovery for Kafka?**

Yes. Conduktor provides automatic failover capabilities that keep streaming applications running during DR events, with near-zero downtime for real-time workloads.

**How does Conduktor help with Kafka cost attribution?**

Conduktor tracks which teams and applications produce and consume data. This visibility enables accurate chargeback and helps identify optimization opportunities.
