kafkactl

Command-line tool for managing Apache Kafka — topics, consumer groups, Avro/Protobuf, and more.

Desktopfreeglobal

A command-line tool for managing Apache Kafka, kafkactl consolidates topic, consumer group, and message operations and includes support for Avro and Protobuf schemas, Kubernetes-aware configuration, and shell completions. It addresses the verbosity and inconsistency of Kafka's bundled shell scripts by letting data engineers and platform teams manage topics, consumer groups, and serialized messages from a single CLI. It is open-source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license and intended for self-hosted Kafka deployments.
