# Kafka Concepts Visualizer
An interactive web-based visualization tool to help developers understand Apache Kafka's core concepts: topics, partitions, consumer groups, and message flow patterns.
🔗 [Live Demo](https://idsulik.github.io/kafka-concepts-visualizer/)
## Features
- 🎯 Interactive visualization of Kafka's core components
- 🔄 Real-time message flow animations
- 👥 Dynamic consumer group scaling demonstration
- 📊 Visual partition distribution
- 🎨 Clean, modern UI design
## About
This visualizer was created to help developers better understand Kafka's core concepts through interactive visualization. It's particularly useful for:
- New developers learning Kafka
- Teams explaining Kafka architecture
- Educational purposes in workshops and training
- Quick demonstrations of Kafka concepts
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/kafka-visualizer.git
```
2. Open `index.html` in your web browser or serve it using a local server:
```bash
# Using Python
python -m http.server 8000
# Using Node.js
npx serve
```
3. Visit `http://localhost:8000` in your browser
## Future Improvements
- [ ] Add more complex scenarios (multiple consumer groups)
- [ ] Implement message key visualization
- [ ] Add replication factor visualization
- [ ] Include broker failure scenarios
- [ ] Add interactive tutorials
- [ ] Implement mobile-responsive design
