Features & Specs

  1. Multi-broker console

    Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ and Apache Artemis in one self-hosted console, with Memcached operated as a cache.

  2. One permission model

    Users, teams and scoped roles across every broker you connect.

  3. Production guardrails

    Read-only or guarded environments, a reason for destructive operations, offset resets previewed before they run.

Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing BROKA.
  1. What makes BROKA unique?

    BROKA operates Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ and Apache Artemis, with Memcached as a cache, from one self-hosted console. They share one permission model, one set of environments and one tamper-evident audit trail.

    Most tools cover a single broker, so a team that runs several ends up with a separate UI, login and permission set for each.

  2. Why should a person choose BROKA over its competitors?

    • One console for several brokers: the same users, teams, scoped roles and environments for Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ and Apache Artemis.
    • Guardrails for production: read-only or guarded environments, a reason for destructive operations, offset resets previewed before they run.
    • An audit trail you can verify: every administrative action is recorded, and the trail can be exported and verified outside BROKA.
    • Self-hosted: it runs on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose; there is no hosted version.
    • Pricing: the Community edition is free for Kafka, with no account needed. Commercial is licensed per installation, not per user or broker.
  3. How would you describe the primary audience of BROKA?

    Platform, SRE and backend teams who operate message brokers and caches in production, and the team leads who need to know who can change what, and who did.

  4. What's the story behind BROKA?

    Inside one company, different teams often run different brokers with different tools: one team on Kafka with its own UI, another on the RabbitMQ management UI, a third on the Redis CLI. Each has its own logins and permissions, and nobody has one picture of which service uses which topic or queue, who owns it, or who changed what.

    The changes that hurt are usually the routine ones, like an offset reset on the wrong consumer group or a purge on the wrong queue. BROKA puts those brokers under the same roles, guardrails and audit trail.

  5. Which are the primary technologies used for building BROKA?

    • Java and Spring Boot for the broker service that talks to Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ, Apache Artemis and Memcached
    • .NET for the API that holds users, roles, environments and the audit trail
    • React and TypeScript for the console
    • PostgreSQL for BROKA's own data
    • Docker images, run with Docker Compose
