  Kafka Kare (Open Source)

  Jan 2024 - now

  Software Engineer

  An open-source error alert dashboard for small dev teams without a DevOps team. The frontend is built with Next.js and Next Auth for OAuth, while the backend uses Node/Express. The app connects to Apache Kafka for real-time data monitoring with custom alerts, incorporates a Kafka Data Aggregation Platform using Prometheus, JMX Exporter, and Grafana, and is containerized with Docker for consistent performance. MongoDB is utilized for efficient storage, and Zustand handles global state management.
