Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is tracked by BlackTree as a server-side software product. Its lifecycle page separates release identity, maintenance and security boundaries using the publisher's registered source.

Lifecycle status

No support or retirement date is shown unless BlackTree can link it to a registered publisher source. A missing date means that a boundary is not publicly stated, has not yet been extracted, or still needs source routing. It does not mean the product is supported indefinitely.
