Strimzi

Strimzi is a CNCF project providing a Kubernetes-native operator for running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift. It simplifies the deployment, management, scaling, and configuration of Kafka clusters using Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Strimzi manages the full Kafka ecosystem including brokers, ZooKeeper/KRaft, Kafka Connect, Kafka MirrorMaker 2, Kafka Bridge, and Schema Registry. The operator pattern lets teams declare desired Kafka topology via YAML manifests managed by Kubernetes.

      The Strimzi Operator API is expressed through Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Operators are
      controlled by creating and modifying Kafka, KafkaTopic, KafkaUser, KafkaConnect, KafkaMirrorMaker2, KafkaBridge,
      and related custom resources via the Kubernetes API. The Strimzi operator watches these resources and reconciles
      the actual cluster state to match the desired specification.

      The Strimzi Kafka Bridge provides an HTTP/REST interface to Apache Kafka, allowing HTTP clients to produce and
      consume messages, manage consumer groups, and query topic metadata without a native Kafka client. The Bridge
      implements part of the OpenAPI specification for HTTP-to-Kafka bridging.
