Keen

The fully managed event streaming platform.

Visit Keen

Keen is a managed event streaming and analytics platform built on Apache Kafka, Storm, and Cassandra. It provides a REST API for collecting event data from connected devices and sources, storing it securely, running queries, and presenting results in embedded dashboards. The platform is designed to let developers build event-driven applications without maintaining their own streaming infrastructure.

Core capabilities include the Streams API for event ingestion, persistent storage with HTTPS/TLS transfer and multi-layer AES encryption, and the Compute API for complex queries without SQL. Enrichments and transformations can add dimensions from custom data sources. Visualization is handled through Keen's Data Viz Library, Dashboard Builder, and support for third-party charting libraries such as Chart.js and Highcharts. The platform also offers role-based access, custom SSL, S3 streaming, and a Chargify integration.

Keen is aimed at developers and SaaS businesses building in-product analytics. Pricing is organized into Team, Business, and Custom plans, with monthly or annual billing and usage limits on events and queries. Annual plans include a discount, and overage fees apply when limits are exceeded. Custom plans can include tailored usage limits, enterprise support, and integration services.
