Benchmarks
These benchmarks measure what Zilla adds to the data path: latency, throughput, and the cost of each feature turned on. Every benchmark runs on open-source tooling, so you can reproduce the results in your own environment.
Kafka Gateway
Kafka Passthrough Benchmarks
Zilla Plus as a passthrough proxy in front of Apache Kafka and Confluent Cloud, compared with connecting directly.
Whole-Payload Encryption Benchmark
The cost of each layer: the proxy hop, whole-payload encryption, and structured field encryption of JSON records.
Structured Field Encryption Benchmark
Structured field encryption across JSON, Avro, and Protobuf records, with Avro cutting end-to-end p99 by 71 ms against JSON.
