About KafkIO

KafkIO is designed for easy, fast, and enjoyable use. It only takes a few clicks before you’re exploring your Kafka clusters. No web servers, configuration files, clunky installation, Docker, or funky licensing! You can seamlessly create/edit/delete/dump/clear topics, produce messages, advanced search and streaming with text, offset, and date range criteria, tweak offsets, delete consumers, and browse/create/update schemas. Easily manage access control lists (ACLs). View your data in a variety of ways. Manage Kafka Connect connectors and ksqlDB (with a flexible KSQL editor). Troubleshoot issues with a clear view of the broker, topic, ksqlDB, connector, and consumer configuration, with live statistics such as partition skew, out-of-sync replicas, consumer lag, etc.

The UI is created with JavaFX and uses different libraries, which are all styled in a very consistent and easy-to-understand way. The application is beautifully designed and an excellent showcase of what can be achieved if a Java backend and JavaFX user interface are combined in one single powerful application!
