Kafka King is a desktop Apache Kafka management client built with Wails and franz-go. It provides graphical tools for connecting to clusters, inspecting brokers, and configuring topics. Users can create or delete topics, manage partitions, and examine consumer groups and message offsets. A message browser supports real-time consumption, filtering, and exporting records. Producer tools allow messages to be sent individually or in batches with custom headers. Schema Registry integration supports Avro, JSON, and Protobuf decoding. Advanced administration includes offset resets, partition reassignment, message purging, and cluster health checks. Secure connections support TLS, SASL, Kerberos, OAuth, AWS MSK IAM, and SSH tunneling. Kafka King runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
