FAQs
If you can't find what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact support.
Is Kadeck Teams Free
comparable to Data Streamhouse?

How do the desktop
products fit with
the Data Streamhouse?
Our desktop products serve individual developers and smaller teams, while Data Streamhouse targets enterprises looking for an enterprise-grade platform experience for their data streaming infrastructure.

being discontinued?
No, Kadeck Teams Enterprise is not being discontinued. We remain committed to developing and supporting it alongside our new Data Streamhouse product and Kadeck Desktop. Existing Enterprise customers will continue to receive updates, bug fixes, and new features.

Kadeck Desktop and Professional?
Kadeck Desktop is our free edition with core Kafka management features for individual developers. Kadeck Desktop Professional adds advanced features like multi-cluster management, monitoring, and unlimited filters & data for professional developers and consultants. See the pricing box for more information.
Who should use Kadeck Desktop
vs Desktop Professional?
Kadeck Desktop suits developers learning Kafka or working on personal projects. Desktop Professional is ideal for individual consultants, freelancers, and developers needing advanced features like enhanced data exploration, troubleshooting and multi-cluster management.
Can I upgrade from
desktop to Data Streamhouse later?
No. Desktop and Enterprise products are separate product lines built for different purposes. Desktop is for individual developers; Enterprise is for teams, governance, and scale. Migration isn’t supported—choose based on your long-term needs.
