Power Digital Banking with Application Observability & Kafka Monitoring

When a payment fails, a login times out, or a trading order doesn't confirm in time, your engineering team has minutes, sometimes seconds to find out why. Atatus gives you full-stack observability across your applications and infrastructure. KLogic gives you purpose-built monitoring for the Kafka pipelines that move transactions, fraud signals, and events between them.

Why Observability Matters in Financial Services

Financial services companies run on systems that cannot fail quietly. A five-minute outage in a consumer app is an inconvenience. A five-minute outage in a payment authorization pipeline or a stalled Kafka topic feeding your fraud engine is declined transactions, abandoned checkouts, and a call from a partner bank asking what happened.

Uptime is revenue and trust

Uptime is revenue and trust

Every failed transaction or timed-out login is a moment where a customer questions whether your platform is safe to use with their money. Reliability is the product experience.

Systems are distributed

Systems are distributed

Core banking, payment gateways, and fraud engines increasingly communicate through Kafka. A stalled consumer group or a lagging partition can silently delay fraud checks or ledger updates for minutes before anyone notices.

Regulators expect a paper trail

Regulators expect a paper trail

SOC 2, PCI DSS, and internal risk frameworks assume you can reconstruct what happened, when, and why across both the application layer and the event pipelines connecting it.

Our Products

Two Products, One Financial Infrastructure Stack

Atatus and KLogic are built to be used together, one covers your applications and infrastructure, the other covers the Kafka backbone connecting them.

Atatus

Full-Stack Observability & APM

Unified monitoring across your web, mobile, and backend applications, the layer where customers interact with your banking, payments, and trading products.

  • Application performance monitoring (APM) for backend services
  • Real user monitoring for customer-facing banking and trading apps
  • Infrastructure monitoring across cloud and Kubernetes environments
  • Error tracking and distributed tracing across microservices
  • Synthetic monitoring for uptime and availability
KLogic

Kafka Monitoring & Event Pipeline Intelligence

Purpose-built visibility into the Kafka pipelines that carry transactions, fraud signals, and ledger events between services where traditional APM tools stop looking.

  • Consumer lag and partition-level health monitoring
  • Broker performance and rebalance tracking
  • Event flow tracing including stalled, dropped, or out-of-order messages
  • AI-powered anomaly detection on topic-level throughput
  • Correlation of Kafka pipeline events with downstream service logs

Why Engineering Teams Choose Atatus + KLogic

Traditional log management tools were built to store and search text. Atatus and KLogic are built to answer the question engineers actually have during an incident: what changed, where, and why, whether it happened in the application or in the pipeline connecting it.

Speed
Speed

Both products are built to get engineers from alert to root cause fast, not just to collect logs.

Context
Context

Application events and Kafka events are correlated automatically, not left in separate dashboards.

AI Root Cause Analysis
AI Root Cause Analysis

Surfaces the likely root cause directly, turning a 45-minute investigation into minutes.

Noise Reduction

Filters and groups repetitive, low-signal log noise so engineers see what changed.

Cost

Keeps the signal-to-cost ratio favorable as transaction and event volume grows.

Developer Productivity
Developer Productivity

Less context-switching between application tools and Kafka-specific tooling during incidents.

We needed application monitoring (APM and client side) for some of our internal applications and have finally been able to check all the boxes with Atatus at an affordable price. Easy to deploy and configure, immediately valuable and detailed metrics, and bonus--no extra charges for integrations, 2FA, and SSO. Wins all around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Atatus and KLogic?
Atatus is a full-stack observability and APM platform covering your applications, infrastructure, and end-user experience. KLogic is a purpose-built monitoring product focused specifically on Kafka such as consumer lag, partition health, broker performance, and event flow. Financial services teams typically run both together for full coverage across the application layer and the event-streaming layer.
Do we need both products, or can we start with just one?
You can start with either. Teams whose primary pain point is application-level incidents (payment failures, login issues, latency) typically start with Atatus. Teams already running Kafka-heavy architectures such as fraud scoring, ledger sync, real-time payments often start with KLogic and add Atatus for application coverage later.
How does KLogic help detect fraud pipeline delays before they affect transactions?
KLogic tracks consumer lag and partition health on fraud-scoring topics in real time, flagging a slowing consumer group or a stalled partition before the delay is large enough to let a risky transaction process unscored.
Can Atatus correlate application logs with KLogic's Kafka data?
Yes. Atatus and KLogic are designed to be used together, correlating application-level traces with the Kafka events moving between services, so an investigation can move from an application error directly to the pipeline event that caused it.
Does this stack integrate with our existing observability tools, like Prometheus and Grafana?
Yes. Atatus supports OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana integrations, bringing correlated data into existing metrics and visualization workflows rather than replacing them outright.
How does Atatus help detect payment failures before customers report them?
Atatus applies real-time anomaly detection to transaction and payment service logs, flagging unusual spikes in declined transactions or error rates as they happen rather than waiting for a customer complaint.
Does adopting KLogic require changing our current Kafka setup?
KLogic is built to monitor existing Kafka deployments without requiring changes to topic structure, producer/consumer code, or cluster configuration.
