About

Apache Avro™ is a data serialization system. Avro provides rich data structures, a compact, fast, binary data format, a container file, to store persistent data, remote procedure call (RPC). Also, it provides simple integration with dynamic languages. Code generation is not required to read or write data files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. Code generation as an optional optimization, only worth implementing for statically typed languages. Avro relies on schemas. When Avro data is read, the schema used when writing it is always present. This permits each datum to be written with no per-value overheads, making serialization both fast and small. This also facilitates use with dynamic, scripting languages, since data, together with its schema, is fully self-describing. When Avro data is stored in a file, its schema is stored with it, so that files may be processed later by any program. If the program reading the data expects a different schema this can be easily resolved.

About

Kafma is a desktop Kafka GUI client and IDE for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It keeps the consume–inspect–produce loop in one workspace, helping developers browse topics, inspect records, edit payloads, and produce messages without switching views. Kafma automatically decodes Avro and Protobuf, supports replaying and forwarding messages, and lets you draft, diff, and validate schemas before publishing. You can also manage topics and consumer groups, diagnose lag, and reset offsets. Kafma Pro can clone remote topics—with their configurations, schemas, and a selected range of messages—into a local cluster for testing, with optional field masking. Kafma works with self-hosted Kafka, Confluent Cloud, and Amazon MSK. A Free plan is available.
