Kafka Self-service
Overview
Self-service helps you scale Kafka usage in your organization by facilitating collaboration between the Central Platform Team and Application Teams.
It simplifies and automates processes, establishes clear rules and ways of working, and standardizes the creation and management of Kafka resources.
This approach brings governance into your enterprise through concepts like Ownership and Applications, delegating operations to the Application Teams rather than the Central Platform Team.
- For a presentation of Self-service and its key concepts, see Get Started with Self-service
- For the full definition of each resource, see Self-service Resources Reference.
Self-service User Interface
For now, Self-service relies principally on the Conduktor CLI.
The Console UI reconciles actions executed via the CLI to present Read Only views of your Application Catalog and Topic Catalog. This promotes discoverability of Kafka resources with business context inside your organization.
