Open Source at KLogic
We believe in giving back to the community that makes Kafka possible. From standalone tools to upstream contributions, open source is core to how we operate.
Our Open Source Philosophy
KLogic was built on top of open source software. Kafka itself, the observability tools we rely on, and the programming languages we use are all open source projects maintained by communities of dedicated engineers.
We take that seriously. Every year we dedicate engineering time to upstream contributions, publish standalone tools we've built internally, and actively participate in the communities where Kafka practitioners gather.
