KSQL for Kafka's listed site resolved live when we last probed it on Aug 27, 2026, so we mark it verified alive. Its Pulse Index is 49.0 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 8 functional tags. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 1 linked rival, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Overlap is the shared functional-tag ratio (Jaccard) for tag-matched rows. Pulse is the observed-activity index real and 30d Δ its signed month change; a dash means insufficient observed history, never zero.
