Schema-level anomaly detection for event streams

Self-healing data pipelines for event-driven systems

Streamforge detects schema drift and anomalies across Kafka, Kinesis, and Flink, then repairs the pipeline automatically before data loss spreads downstream.

Event pipelines fail in ways your dashboards don't see

Schema drift breaks consumers silently. A producer starts sending null event IDs, your downstream data warehouse sees the row, accepts it, and quietly stores garbage. By the time anyone notices, you're auditing 48 hours of corrupt orders.

Datadog shows you CPU. Confluent Schema Registry enforces registered schemas at produce time. Neither one catches optional-field drift, type coercions in non-Avro topics, or volume anomalies from a producer going dark. Streamforge instruments every stream at the schema level, not the infra level. That is the gap we were built to close.

Connect. Watch. Heal.

01

Connect your streams

Plug in Kafka, Kinesis, or Flink. No code changes to producers or consumers. Streamforge connects at the broker layer.

02

Schema model learns baseline

Within 24 hours, Streamforge builds a rolling schema model per topic. What fields, what types, what cardinalities are normal.

03

Anomalies detected and rerouted

Drift, loss, or spike triggers a reroute to a dead-letter stream and an alert. Your consumers keep receiving clean events.

Everything that keeps a pipeline honest

Schema Guard

Field-level schema validation against rolling 30-day baseline. Catches null field creep, type coercions, and new unexpected keys before they hit consumers.

Self-Heal Routing

Define reroute rules once. When a topic breaches thresholds, Streamforge redirects to a quarantine stream. No ops intervention required.

Volume Anomaly Detection

Detects sudden message-rate drops or spikes. Silent loss from a downed producer is the failure mode that kills data warehouse freshness.

DLQ Inspector

Dead-letter queue with schema diff view. Every quarantined event shows exactly what field violated expectations. Replay cleaned events when the producer fixes the issue.

Alert Routing

PagerDuty, Slack, OpsGenie, email. One alert per incident, not one per failed message. Configurable dedup window.

Zero-Code Connect

Broker-layer connection, no producer SDK, no consumer code changes. Works with your existing Kafka ACLs and IAM policies.

From engineers who've been paged at 3 a.m.

We had a producer shipping nulls into a topic for 6 hours before anyone noticed. With Streamforge we'd have caught it in the first minute and rerouted automatically. That's the deploy I keep replaying.
Sam R. Staff Data Engineer, Orion Logistics
Schema drift was our biggest blind spot. We run 80+ topics and had no systematic way to know when a producer team changed a field type. Streamforge Schema Guard is the answer.
Priya N. Platform Engineering Lead, Cascade Commerce
The DLQ inspector alone is worth it. I can see exactly which field failed and replay the events once we fix the producer. Used to take 2 to 3 hours of logs spelunking.
