Our company uses https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop it's FOSS. It can also handle AVRO and PROTOBUF messages.
Does your company use both Avro and Protobuf for message serialization? Most places tend to standardize with one or the other and I’m wondering if there is a use case for both.
CMAK, AKHQ, Kafdrop, Kowl, Conduktor, Kafkatool etc.... why are there so many attempts to build a kafka UI? Does each one have its own use case? I'd think that something as large as "Kafka" in the software ecosystem would have a goto defacto standard UI for managing it.
I was looking for something like this about a year ago but no open source solution existed. Thank you!

Slightly off topic but for the shell in the example what did they export PS1 to get the nice looking solid background color for the host name and current working directory?
Looks like some type of powerline plugin for their shell https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell

Thanks to @tutbhuf for mention of kafdrop. Will check it out as well.

you must not have looked for long, most of the other OSS tools mentioned in this thread exist for several years already.

Maybe if they had been given better, more descriptive, names they'd have been easier to fit

That said, it's been a while since kafka gained popularity, so it's surprising we've not seen any coalesce into a main contender.

These ones (stolen from another comment)? > CMAK, AKHQ, Kafdrop, Kowl, Conduktor, Kafkatool Maybe if they had been given better, more descriptive, names they'd have been easier to fit
