My ideas: Event Endpoint Management

EEM to provide MCP tools, resources, for Agentic interaction and discovery of streams of events

It would be valuable for EEM to expose a set of MCP tools so agents (like IBM Bob) can discover the Catalog of events exposed by EEM for use by application developers, help topic owners document their Kafka estate in the first instance, as well as...

Extend EGW to support access logging with a customizable set of actions to be logged (e.g. logins, failed logins, subscriptions, event retrievals, ...)

Right now there are OTel metrics in the gateway that give us some information about clients that tried connecting and that connected. The consumption of messages already depends on whether they commit or not. Anyhow, all metric values are aggregat...

EEM to abstract producers and consumers from underneath Kafka clusters

The idea is to use EEM as an enabler or booster of Kafka high availability and resilience capabilities. The idea is that EEM serves as an abstraction layer from the underneath kafka clusters for the producers and consumers so that these do not pro...

Finer grained access control within EEM - for example, allow to disable Kafka cluster menus for authors in EEM.

The EEM UI is fine for the customer, but they do not like the fact that a user with the "author" role can also add or modify a Kafka cluster definition. More generally, being able to control what each type of user can do within EEM is a request (f...

The definition of an OAuth security control should allow to specify a list of scopes.

The customer considers that it is not enough to verify the access and ID tokens from the OAuth provider - the Event Gateway should also be able to verify scopes.

Declarative EEM API - i.e CRs to create published topics etc

EEM has a REST based API today, which can be used to create, update, publish and unpublish Kafka topics. A logical extension to this (and a better fit for CI/CD/GitOps style adoption) would be to offer a declarative approach (using k8s custom reso...

EEM Admin API Access Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity

Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity The token is strictly associated with the identity of the user who generated it, apparently including the audit trail. This has two issues - only this user has to specifically create it and manag...

Provide an interface to test a published option within the EEM UI

The customer would like to be able to test a published option directly within the EEM UI, browse messages for a consumer option and send a new message for a producer option. The EEM catalog could provide a simple test interface for options.

Automated encryption of sensible data, directed by the schema registry

Hello, Kafka events can sometimes carry sensitive data that is either subjected to the RGPD, banking security or of hight confidentiality. We would like to have the possibility to add flags in schemas for sensible fields, or flag the entirety of a...
