Live visibility
Connector state, task health, worker identity, and last-seen timestamps. Config in a table or as JSON. What Connect knows, you see.
Seamark Beacon
Product
Stop finding out about failures from your users.
Kafka Connect is a REST API and a set of logs. Beacon is the control plane in front of it — live health for every connector, safe start/stop/restart, and a record of who did what. Operate CDC without living in curl.
Operating vocabulary
The verbs of running Connect.
- Start
- Pause
- Restart
- Cluster
- CDC
- Audit
- API keys
- Roles
Safe controls
Start, stop, and restart with confirmations. Roles gate who can mutate. Viewers are never one misclick from a production pause.
Full audit trail
Every control action is recorded with actor, status, and message. Reads are bounded to your plan. Expired events are purged daily.
Workspaces & roles
Owner, member, viewer. Isolation per workspace so platform teams do not share a single god-mode session.
Encrypted credentials
Cluster basic-auth passwords are encrypted at rest. We never store the Connect password in plaintext.
API keys
Scoped Bearer keys for CI and automation. Hashed with HMAC-SHA256. Plaintext is shown once, then gone.
Early-stage, on purpose.
Beacon talks to a single HTTPS Kafka Connect endpoint per cluster, with optional basic auth. Connectors are managed by name. There is no custom plugin marketplace, no cluster provisioning, and no pretend SOC 2 badge. Plan limits are enforced server-side.
If you run Debezium or Connect today and want a real operational surface — not another observability wallpaper — this is the product.
