The KafkIO Windows UI is fully Windows 7/10/11 ready, but will work on older versions of Windows too.
On Linux, KafkIO has been carefully crafted to follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
Configuration & Security
KafkIO is fully compatible with cloud platforms like Confluent Cloud, Aiven, Azure Event Hubs, Amazon MSK, etc., as well as Kubernetes with Strimzi.
Behind a proxy? Don't want to see help pop-ups? Prefer a light theme? Need to import custom certificates? Want to export your configuration? KafkIO is configurable without getting in your way.
Easily configure and test connections to complex cluster configurations, with mTLS and SASL, etc.
For SSL-secured clusters, KafkIO supports all common key types, for your convenience: JKS (Java Keystore), X.509 (i.e., CRT / PEM), or P12 (i.e., PFX, PKCS12).
Out-of-the-box, KafkIO handles Confluent Schema Registry and the Protobuf, JSON Schema, and Avro formats, as well as all compression types. Manage all of your schemas with ease.
