I will stick to using https://github.com/deviceinsight/kafkactl in the shell.

This is amazing, thanks for pointing me to it. I googled around for better tooling but apart from a few "playing around with golang/rust"-cli tools I didn't find anything with better UX than the abysmal shell script tooling provided with Kafka.

Slightly off topic but for the shell in the example what did they export PS1 to get the nice looking solid background color for the host name and current working directory?

Looks like some type of powerline plugin for their shell

Yep, that's powerline (or an alternative inspired by) with an improperly-patched font (which is why it's got the box characters).

Thanks
