Kadeck 5.1 brings a brand new Alert Notifications section to Kadeck. This way you will be informed about problems in your Kafka system and can fix them before others are affected. Receive notifications in your favorite tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Pagerduty or via email.

The AI-based Health Assistant has been enhanced and is now smarter than ever. Improve the availability and reliability of your Kafka system with intelligent support from Kadeck.

Security is an important component: whether for companies with 5 users or 800+ users, with version 5.1. we take Kadeck security to a new level. This is our commitment as a partner to the largest banks, critical infrastructure and logistics companies that depend on security without compromise.

Unfortunately, some bugs have crept into the gigantic Kadeck 5 release, which have now also been fixed with Kadeck 5.1.
