Provectus, a Silicon Valley artificial intelligence (AI) consultancy, announced the release of UI for Apache Kafka v0.2, with new features including support for switching read direction of topic messages, running KSQL queries directly from UI, and producing messages on Kafka topics.

Previously announced in July, UI for Apache Kafka is a free open-source web service that provides developers with a user-friendly UI for monitoring and management of Apache Kafka clusters. The lightweight dashboard makes it easy to keep track of key metrics of Apache Kafka clusters, including Brokers, Topics, Partitions, Production, and Consumption, without having to use additional CLI tools. This results in faster reporting, reduced time to resolution and minimal engineering silos, making the development process more efficient.
