What's New?

Kafka 4

Kafka 4 now supports Windows. They include a "windows" sub-directory in the "bin" directory with scripts to start Kafka.

The Apache Kafka website distributes the Kafka binaries as a tarball, which makes it slightly inconvenient because you would then have to set it up manually. I decided to contribute to the Kafka community by creating DEB and RPM packages.

You can download the DEB/RPM packages from my Kafka page.
