Get a Kafka cluster running in minutes without local installation Conduktor Console includes hosted Kafka clusters for learning and development. Create topics, produce messages, and explore Kafka concepts through a visual interface.

​
Create a Kafka cluster

  1. Go to conduktor.io/get-started
  2. Sign up or log in to Console
  3. Create a new cluster from the dashboard
  4. Your cluster is ready to use

​
What you can do

Once your cluster is running, use Console to:
  • Create topics and configure partitions and replication
  • Produce messages to topics and see them appear in real-time
  • Consume messages and browse topic contents
  • Monitor consumer groups and track offsets
This hands-on exploration helps reinforce the concepts covered in the fundamentals section.
Conduktor clusters are ideal for learning and prototyping. For production workloads, use a managed Kafka service or self-hosted cluster.

​
Optional: Use CLI tools

To follow the CLI tutorials with your Conduktor cluster, install the Kafka binaries locally:
PlatformInstallation guide
MacInstall on Mac
LinuxInstall on Linux
WindowsInstall on Windows
Skip the steps for starting ZooKeeper and Kafka. You only need the binaries installed and $PATH configured.
