Confluent

Kafka was started at linkedin, however several of the people who started it have started a new company Confluent around it. Confluent Github is the currently the best plcae for kafka tools / libraries.

docker-compose

It is tricky to get kafka and zookeeper working locally. Lots of the examples on the web only work on linux or have issues. This docker-compose appears to be the best/simplest one available.

Kafka Tool

kafka tool is a great way to explore kafka. Get version 2 Kafka Tool

Add the cluster

C# Library

The confluent C# library is on github. It was recently overhauled so lots (most) of the examples of how to use it on the web are wrong. The examples in the repo are the best starting point.
