Show HN: UI for Apache Kafka • Hacker News Board

There's a lot great and developing tools for Kafka right now. CMAK doesn't seem that active, and I believe it was one of the tools we quickly gave up on, because it was a little difficult to get going.

Currently we're using Kowl, and we're looking into Cruise Control.

One limiting factor is that many of these tools doesn't support authentication and RBAC, Kowl does, and that has been a requirement for at least some of our projects, where not everyone is allowed to view certain topics.

Nice. Is there are documentation on how to set it up for MSK?

You should have mentioned that you work at Provectus in this article. Feels pretty sneaky to claim to do an impartial review, but provide no negative critique of the one made by your company…

This is mentioned in my medium profile. If you think that my comparison is not objective feel free to mention it on comment there)
