About:
The Confluent CLI is a unified command-line interface for managing Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform resources. It enables developers to automate workflows for creating Kafka clusters, managing topics, and configuring connectors. This tool streamlines event stream administration by providing a single binary for infrastructure-as-code practices.
|
Key Features:
- Unified management for both Confluent Cloud and local Platform instances
- Declarative configuration support for reproducible environments
- Comprehensive resource management for clusters, topics, ACLs, and connectors
- Extensible plugin architecture for custom workflows
|
Use Cases:
- Automating cluster provisioning and configuration in CI/CD pipelines
- Managing Kafka topics and ACLs from the terminal
- Streamlining local development workflows for event-driven applications
|
Alternatives:
-
kafka-cli
– Native Apache Kafka CLI tools are more granular but require separate commands for each component
-
confluent-local
– Confluent Local focuses on local development, while Confluent CLI manages both cloud and on-prem deployments
