  Streambased is not a bespoke REST API; it implements open, cross-cutting data
  standards. It exposes Kafka topics as Apache Iceberg tables queryable with SQL,
  presenting an Iceberg REST catalog interface to query engines while speaking the
  native Apache Kafka wire protocol on the ingest side. Conformance below reflects
  the standards the platform interoperates with, per the public documentation.
