ZILLA

Zilla is a multi-protocol, event-native proxy. It securely interfaces web apps, IoT clients, and microservices to Apache Kafka via declaratively defined, stateless APIs. Zilla has no external dependencies and does not rely on the Kafka Consumer/Producer API or Kafka Connect. It natively supports the Kafka wire protocol and uses advanced protocol mediation to establish stateless API entry points into Kafka.
