Useful tools

If you are using Apache Kafka for your data streaming needs, there are a couple of useful tools that can assist you in managing and monitoring your Kafka clusters.

Kafka UI

One such tool is Kafka UI. Kafka UI provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily navigate and interact with your Kafka topics, partitions, and consumer groups. With Kafka UI, you can view real-time metrics, monitor message consumption, and perform administrative tasks such as creating topics and managing consumer offsets. It simplifies the management of Kafka clusters and makes it easier for you to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
