## What it is
KCenter (formerly KafkaCenter) is a self-hosted web platform for managing and maintaining Apache Kafka clusters, monitoring producers and consumers, and accessing ecosystem components like KSQL and Kafka Connect from one UI. It is a Java application backed by MySQL (and optionally Elasticsearch for monitoring) that ships as a Docker image.

## Use cases
- manage and monitor kafka clusters from a web ui
- monitor kafka consumer lag and set email alerts
- let users request and self-manage kafka topics
- produce mock messages to kafka topics via web ui
- manage kafka connect jobs and ksql in one place
- overview dashboard of all kafka clusters

## When to choose
- you run kafka clusters and want a unified management and monitoring UI
- you need consumer lag monitoring with threshold-based email alerts
- you want topic request workflows and self-service topic management for teams
- you want one UI for Kafka, KSQL, and Kafka Connect

## When to avoid
- your kafka clusters use SASL or OAuth authentication, which is not yet supported
- you need a fully commercial product with dedicated support
- you cannot run MySQL (and Elasticsearch for monitoring) as dependencies
