We are looking for some feedback on a Kafka tool used for debugging micro-services.
At BetterCloud we use Kafka and Avro with fairly complex model schemas. It was close to impossible to test on CLI so we built a web based tool for consuming/producing to topics. It has proven to be extremely valuable while developing, testing, and deploying our micro-services. For example when up stream services were down we could drop messages on the queue, and after critical errors we could inspect the offending message(s). It supports Avro plus the built in kafka client serializers/deserializers. We would like to give back to the community by releasing and open sourcing the project under the MIT license. If you want to learn more see https://github.com/BetterCloud/kadmin or email me at david.espos...@bettercloud.com. Let me know if you have specific questions or have any issues installing/deploying the micro-service. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- *David Esposito* david.espos...@bettercloud.com
