A collection of Docker Compose files that spin up a fully working Apache Kafka stack, including Zookeeper, Kafka brokers (single or clustered, KRaft mode), Schema Registry, REST Proxy, Kafka Connect, ksqlDB, and the Conduktor UI. It is a Shell-based configuration repository meant for local development and experimentation rather than production deployment.

Use cases

• spin up a local kafka cluster with docker compose
• test kafka replication and fault tolerance with multiple brokers
• run kafka in kraft mode without zookeeper locally
• set up schema registry and kafka connect for local development
• get a kafka ui to explore topics and messages
• experiment with ksqldb and kafka rest proxy locally

When to choose

• you need a realistic multi-broker kafka setup on your laptop for development or testing
• you want the full confluent-style stack (schema registry, connect, ksql) with one command
• you want a quick kafka UI alongside your local cluster

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade kafka deployment with security, monitoring, and persistence guarantees
• you are not using docker or docker compose
• you only need a kafka client library rather than a running cluster
