Alginte is a self-hosted web application for Apache Kafka — browse topics and messages, manage consumer groups, connectors, and schemas, and build Kafka Streams topologies visually with a drag-and-drop editor and SpEL expressions. It runs next to your cluster; no data leaves your infrastructure.

Quick Start

Run Alginte against your cluster in one command

Introduction

What Alginte is, how it’s built, and its trust model

Installation

Docker image or the standalone fat JAR

Configuration

Point Alginte at your brokers, Schema Registry, Connect, and ksqlDB

​
What you can do

Topics & messages

Inspect topics, partitions, offsets, and produce/consume records with schema-aware deserialization.

Consumers, Connect & schemas

Manage consumer groups and lag, Kafka Connect connectors, and Schema Registry subjects.

Streams topology builder

Compose sources, processors (map, filter, aggregate, join…), and sinks on a visual canvas.
Alginte binds to localhost by default — it’s a trusted-operator tool out of the box. Before exposing it on a network, read Authentication and the boundary notes in Run with the JAR.
