Kafkawize joins Aiven to Continue Open Source Journey
Summary
“Enhancing our ability to support the open source community at scale, this acquisition is a natural progression of the work being done in our Open Source Program Office, and we can’t wait to continue evolving our commitment in an impactful way.” Klaw directly meets the needs of developers by providing a Kafka governance interface that can manage topic-level operations. Kafkawizes Founder and developer, Murali Basani, will also join the Aiven Open Source Program Office to continue working on Klaw. “While most organizations are widely adopting Kafka in their technology stacks, companies are also struggling with improper governance of hundreds of topics created and their authorizations. Headquartered in Helsinki and with hubs in Berlin, Boston, Paris, Singapore, Sydney and Toronto, Aiven provides managed open source data technologies, like PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka and OpenSearch, on all major clouds. Most recently, Aiven achieved a $3B valuation and has now raised $420M total funding backed by its investors Atomico, Earlybird, Eurazeo, IVP, Lifeline, Salesforce Ventures, and World Innovation Lab.
