Simplifying Kafka Governance for Developers
summary
Klaw automates Kafka governance by enforcing a request/approval workflow for topic creation, ACLs, schemas and connector provisioning, stores ownership and history in a metastore (H2 by default, MySQL optional), and runs as two Spring services with a React UI and Docker images. Demos show creating a topic, granting consumer ACLs, registering a schema via Schema Registry, promoting topics across environments and synchronizing configs where 162 topics out of sync are discovered. Open source Apache license and supports multi‑cluster sync and disaster recovery.
