What Hacker News says

2 sources
I’m building an open-source tool called kafy, which is a kubectl-style cli for Kafka. It’s meant to handle all Kafka use cases and some basic AWK-like operations for inspecting topics, brokers, and consumer groups. The tool is free and open-source, so anyone can use it for their own Kafka clusters. It’s very much a “crappy but functional” project at this stage — nothing fancy, just a practical CLI for certain tasks. You can find it here: https://github.com/KLogicHQ/kafy
