Docker images that run Apache Kafka together with Zookeeper in a single container, plus an optional proxy image for mirroring data from legacy Kafka 7 clusters into Kafka 8. It removes the need to link separate Zookeeper containers or hosts.
Use cases
- run kafka in docker for local development
- single-container kafka with zookeeper
- spin up a kafka broker quickly for testing
- migrate data from kafka 7 to kafka 8
- self-host a message queue in a container
When to choose
- you need a quick, self-contained Kafka+Zookeeper setup for development or testing
- you must bridge a legacy Kafka 7 cluster into a dockerized Kafka 8
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, maintained Kafka image (last release 2019, project appears abandoned)
- you run modern Kafka versions that no longer require Zookeeper (KRaft mode)
- you need optimized startup time or multi-broker orchestration
