Everything You Can Do
One connection unlocks a full AI-powered Kafka control plane. Here's every capability at your fingertips.
Cluster Dashboard
Instantly view your Kafka cluster details — cluster ID, availability zone, endpoint URL, and cloud provider — all in one clean summary.
"Show me my cluster details"Browse & Search Topics
List every topic in your cluster. See partition counts, replication factors, and retention policies at a glance — no Confluent console needed.
"List all my Kafka topics"Topic Configuration
Drill into any topic to see its full configuration — retention.ms, cleanup.policy, min.insync.replicas, compression type, and every other setting.
"Describe the orders topic"Consumer Group Inspector
See every consumer group, its state (Stable, Empty, Rebalancing), assigned members, partitions, and current lag — spot issues before users notice.
"Show me all consumer groups"Produce Messages
Send messages to any topic directly from chat. Specify a key and value, and DonkeyApp handles serialization and delivery confirmation.
"Send hello world to test-topic"Natural-Language Chat
No CLI, no console switching. Ask questions in plain English and DonkeyApp translates your intent into Kafka REST API calls behind the scenes.
"How many partitions does payments have?"Detailed Consumer Lag Analysis
Drill into a specific consumer group to see per-partition lag, committed offsets, and member assignments — diagnose slow consumers instantly.
"Describe consumer group my-app-group"Encrypted Credentials
Your API keys and secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and never stored in plain text. Secure by default, zero extra configuration.
Real-Time Operational Insights
Ask open-ended questions about your Kafka environment and get intelligent answers synthesized from live cluster data — like having a Kafka expert on call.
"Is anything unhealthy in my cluster?"How It Works
Create a Connection
Click "New Connection" in your dashboard, choose Confluent Kafka, and paste your cluster credentials. Takes under 60 seconds.
Explore Your Cluster
Your dashboard instantly shows cluster info, topics, and consumer groups. Browse everything from one screen.
Chat with Your Data
Open the AI chat, type what you need — "list my topics", "send a test message", "check consumer lag" — and get answers instantly.
Act on Insights
Produce messages, diagnose lag, inspect configurations — all from the same conversation. No context switching.

env-xxxxxFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need an MCP server?
No. DonkeyApp connects directly to the Confluent Cloud Kafka REST API v3. An optional MCP server URL field is available for advanced setups, but it's not required.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. DonkeyApp only reads cluster metadata (topics, consumer groups, configs). Your message payloads are never stored. All credentials are encrypted with AES-256 at rest.
Can I use this with self-hosted Kafka?
Currently DonkeyApp supports Confluent Cloud clusters that expose the REST API v3 endpoint. Self-hosted Kafka support is on our roadmap.
How does the AI chat work?
When you type a question, DonkeyApp's AI agent interprets your intent, calls the appropriate Kafka REST API endpoints, and returns a human-readable answer. No SOQL or CLI syntax needed.
Can multiple team members use the same connection?
Yes. Connections belong to your team workspace. Any team member with access can use the Kafka copilot with your shared connection.
