Hosted Konnektr Graph

Deploy and manage Konnektr Graph as a fully managed service via the Konnektr platform. This is the recommended deployment option for most users.

Why Choose Hosted?

• No Infrastructure Management - We handle PostgreSQL, Apache AGE, scaling, backups, and monitoring
• Enterprise Security - Built-in Auth0 authentication and role-based access control
• Real-time Event Streaming - Pre-configured Kafka and Kusto sinks
• Azure Digital Twins Compatible - Use standard Azure Digital Twins SDKs
• Automatic Updates - Always running the latest version with security patches
• 99.9% Uptime SLA - Enterprise-grade reliability and support

Getting Started

1. Create Account & Organization

1. Visit ktrlplane.konnektr.io
2. Sign up for your Konnektr account
3. Create or join an organization
4. Set up your first project

2. Deploy Konnektr Graph

1. Navigate to your project dashboard

2. Click "Create Resource" → "Konnektr Graph"

3. Configure your graph:

   • Name: Unique identifier for your graph instance
   • Region: Choose your preferred deployment region
   • Event Sinks: Optional Kafka or Kusto configuration
   • Event Routes: Define event routing rules

4. Click "Deploy" - your graph will be ready in ~2-3 minutes

3. Access Your Graph

Once deployed, you'll receive:

• API Endpoint: https://your-graph-name.api.graph.konnektr.io
• Auth0 Domain: auth.konnektr.io
• Audience: https://api.graph.konnektr.io
• Swagger UI: Interactive API documentation

Authentication Setup

Konnektr Graph uses Auth0 for authentication. You'll need to implement a custom TokenCredential for Azure Digital Twins SDKs:

# Python example
from azure.digitaltwins.core import DigitalTwinsClient
from your_auth import KonnektrTokenCredential

credential = KonnektrTokenCredential(
    domain="auth.konnektr.io",
    client_id="your-client-id",
    client_secret="your-client-secret",
    audience="https://api.graph.konnektr.io"
)

client = DigitalTwinsClient(
    "https://your-graph-name.api.graph.konnektr.io", 
    credential
)

See Azure SDK Integration for complete examples in Python, C#, and JavaScript.

Event Streaming Configuration

Kafka Sinks

Stream real-time events to Apache Kafka:

• Broker List: Your Kafka cluster endpoints
• Topic: Target topic for digital twin events
• Authentication: Uses OAUTHBEARER with federated credentials

Kusto Sinks

Stream events to Azure Data Explorer or Microsoft Fabric:

• Ingestion URI: Your ADX cluster ingestion endpoint
• Database: Target database name
• Authentication: Automatic with federated credentials

Event Formats

Choose between:

• EventNotification: Real-time twin state changes
• DataHistory: Azure Digital Twins-compatible historical format

Resource Management

From your KtrlPlane dashboard:

• Monitoring: View metrics, health status, and performance
• Scaling: Adjust compute and storage resources
• Configuration: Update event sinks and routing rules
• Logs: Access application and system logs
• Backup: Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery
• Access Control: Manage user permissions and API keys

Pricing & Billing

Konnektr Graph pricing is based on:

• Base Instance: Monthly subscription per graph instance
• API Calls: Per-request pricing for API operations
• Event Streaming: Based on events per second throughput
• Storage: Data storage and backup retention

Contact sales@konnektr.io for detailed pricing and enterprise plans.

Support & SLA

Support Tiers:

• Community: GitHub issues and discussions
• Professional: Email support with 24-hour response
• Enterprise: Phone support with 2-hour response and dedicated CSM

Service Level Agreement:

• Uptime: 99.9% availability guarantee
• Performance: Less than 100ms API response time (95th percentile)
• Recovery: 4-hour RTO, 1-hour RPO for enterprise plans

Comparison: Hosted vs Self-Hosted

Migration from Azure Digital Twins

Migrating from Azure Digital Twins to hosted Konnektr Graph:

1. Models: Export DTDL models and import via API (100% compatible)
2. Twins: Use bulk export/import APIs
3. Code: Replace DefaultAzureCredential with KonnektrTokenCredential
4. Endpoints: Update endpoint URLs to your Konnektr Graph instance
5. Event Routing: Configure equivalent Kafka/Kusto sinks

See our Migration Guide for detailed steps.
