AKHQ is a web-based GUI for Apache Kafka that lets users manage and explore topics, browse topic data, monitor consumer groups and lag, and manage Schema Registry and Kafka Connect. It supports multi-cluster views, LDAP/OAuth authentication, and RBAC, deployable via Docker or Helm.

Use cases

• browse and search messages inside kafka topics
• monitor kafka consumer group lag
• manage kafka topics and configurations from a web ui
• view and manage schema registry subjects
• inspect kafka connect cluster status
• administer kafka acls and users
• troubleshoot kafka clusters across multiple environments

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted web ui to explore and administer kafka clusters
• you manage multiple kafka clusters and want a central console
• you need avro/protobuf deserialization and schema registry integration
• you want ldap, oauth, or rbac-secured kafka access for teams

When to avoid

• you only need a lightweight cli for kafka scripting
• you want a desktop-native kafka client rather than a web server deployment
• you need a general-purpose message queue ui beyond kafka
