obsidiandynamics/kafdrop

Kafdrop is a web-based administration tool for Apache Kafka clusters, providing a user interface to inspect topics, view messages, and monitor consumer groups. It supports the visualization and search of messages in multiple formats, including Avro, Protobuf, and MessagePack. The system offers comprehensive cluster management capabilities, including access control list (ACL) inspection, broker status monitoring, and consumer group lag tracking. It is designed for easy deployment via Docker, Helm charts, or systemd, and includes robust configuration options for security and connectivity.

This period marks the initial public release of Kafdrop, establishing the project's foundational structure, configuration, and build environment. It also introduces Docker support for containerized deployment and modernizes the user interface by migrating to Bootstrap 4. The period concludes with dependency updates to align with newer versions of Spring Boot and related libraries.
