It feels like only yesterday that we announced Lenses 3.1. The release was focused around helping developers be more productive when developing real-time data applications. Since then, our customers are onboarding new applications and new users onto their data platform at a faster rate than ever. And with more apps and users come stricter and tougher requirements for compliance and governance.

Here at Lenses.io, we’re focused on making data technologies such as Apache Kafka and Kubernetes as accessible to every organization as possible. It’s part of our DataOps vision and company DNA. Lenses is built by developers, for developers. We understand the headaches they live with and the challenges they face seemingly have to learn a new data technology every few months. We believe that’s just not the right model.

Imagine being out on a Saturday morning, drinking coffee and catching some sun when a message on Slack from a colleague tells you about an incident on your Kafka infrastructure. Fortunately, you are able to identify the problem and correct it from where you are but wouldn't it be good to know about that Kafka broker going down at the time that this has happened? Is there a way to prevent that from happening again? Yes, there is: Lenses alerts.
