What problem does it solve?

Deploys production-grade Apache Kafka clusters on Kubernetes using the Strimzi operator in Kraft mode, enabling reliable event-driven architectures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Operator installation and Kraft-based cluster provisioning on Kubernetes
  • Topic management, producer/consumer testing, and pub/sub workflows
  • Suitable for both development and production workloads in cloud-native environments

Quick Start

  • Create a namespace: kubectl create namespace kafka
  • Install Strimzi operator: kubectl apply -f 'https://strimzi.io/install/latest?namespace=kafka' -n kafka
  • Deploy a Kraft Kafka cluster: kubectl apply -f https://strimzi.io/examples/latest/kafka/kraft/kafka-single-node.yaml -n kafka

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy Kafka on Kubernetes using Strimzi?▼

KRaft mode in Strimzi Kafka deployments removes the need for ZooKeeper by storing metadata directly within Kafka brokers. This simplifies Kubernetes cluster architecture and reduces operational overhead for event-driven microservices.

How do I set up Kafka topics and test pub/sub workflows in Kubernetes?▼

After deploying your Strimzi Kafka cluster, use kubectl workflows to apply topic manifests for topic management. You can then run standard producer and consumer testing to validate pub/sub workflows.

Does this Strimzi Kafka deployment support both development and production workloads?▼

Yes, this Strimzi-based Kafka deployment on Kubernetes is suitable for both development and production workloads. It enables reliable event-driven architectures and rapid Kafka provisioning for cloud-native environments.

Do I need ZooKeeper to run Kafka with KRaft mode on Kubernetes?▼

No, you do not need ZooKeeper when running Kafka in KRaft mode on Kubernetes. Strimzi handles standard KRaft configurations to enable operator-managed cluster creation without ZooKeeper dependencies.
