Kafka Cheat Sheets

This document provides summaries of commonly used Kafka commands for topic management, producer commands, consumer commands, and other commands. Topic management commands allow users to create, describe, list, alter, and delete topics. Producer commands allow sending messages to topics from the console or from files. Consumer commands allow reading messages from topics from the console or in consumer groups. Other commands configure topics, retrieve offsets, and run performance tests.
