Lazy Kafka
2026-06-21
Lazy-kafka is celebrating soon it's second birthday, so I thought, I would just publish the repo instead of letting it sitting on my gh account.
the ambition
The goal of this project was to create a minimalistic (also linecount wise minimalistic) kafka tui. The primary paint was actually checking the status of kafka connectors. But this project is a lot more ambitious:
- Kafka topic:
- list topics
- follow topic messages
- Kafka Connectors:
- list connectors
- live follow status
- Schema registry:
- list schemas
- describe schemas
There is more to these operations, e.g.: deleting, creating entities. Some of the features are there, some are not. The code is in a limbo state, just between being split up into uv workspaces to support a plugin architecture. There is also some dead-code. All in all, there is a lot of work left before this could be used.
Maybe one day I will work more on it.
