What problem does it solve?
Managing Redpanda topics and their configurations via the CLI can be error-prone and time-consuming when done manually across clusters; this skill provides a centralized reference for topic lifecycle operations using the rpk-topic command group.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Create, describe, alter-config, add-partitions, trim-prefix, analyze, and delete topics, with visibility into storage and configs.
- Support for enterprise topic properties (Tiered Storage, Cloud Topics, Iceberg Topics, Remote Read Replicas, Leader Pinning, and Schema ID Validation) to model complex deployments.
- Unified guidance for both single-topic operations and bulk topic management across multiple topics and clusters.
Quick Start
Create a topic named orders with 6 partitions and replication factor 3, then adjust its configs and inspect its storage status.
