Project status ?

Open jrevillard opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

Dear all,

@devshawn, I just would like some information about the project status as we did not here from you since nearly 2 months now.

I think that you made a really good job and kafka-gitops seems to be interesting for many persons including me. I personally integrated it into my company processes to manage our Kafka clusters and I would really like to see some feature integrated like Schema management etc... Of course, I will collaborate as I already did for #52.

Wouldn't it be the good time to open the management to more than one person ? I can perfectly understand that this is really time consuming to maintain this kind of project alone but if a small group could be built I'm pretty sure that everything might be easier.

What do you think ?

Best, Jerome

Hey @jrevillard,

Agreed, it can be hard and I'm happy the tool has helped you out. I apologize for not being around and letting your PR sit for so long.

I'd be open to adding some more maintainers in the future after discussing some code style + code structure that I'd like to follow since I can be a bit picky in my projects :)

I also booked time this weekend to get your PR reviewed and merged.

A new release will be pushed this weekend with the latest PRs incorporated. We will discuss the schema registry addition after that and possibly open up the project to a few more contributors. I was quite backlogged but I no longer have that backlog and will get new releases pushed regularly for kafka-gitops.

Expect a new release by the end of this weekend, hopefully sooner. 🚀

FYI, a new release with the newly merged PRs should be coming by this weekend. Getting to this fell off my radar.

Hey @devshawn, when will the new release be available? Thanks!

@devshawn Any updates? Should potentially think about getting additional maintainers for this project.

Hi all,

The next release will be pushed this week. I’ll look into more maintainers in the future. Apologies for the wait.

Hello @devshawn ! Thank you for this awesome tool!

I experience the need of supporting in settings.topics.defaults.* more than just replication, and I'd be happy to contribute, but I'm not sure, whether this repo is actually maintained.

So I'm wondering, how big are the chances that a potential MR will be approved and merged "timely"?

Thank you!

So ?...

Hello all, is the project being abandoned?

That would be a pity! It can be a great donation to the open-source community!

danieleascione avatar Dec 19 '22 10:12 danieleascione

Hi all, it's still maintained, I just haven't been working on it lately. I'll be making updates and making a new release soon.

I'm happy to review and accept PRs.

@devshawn Glad to hear this!

I have recently forked this project and made a release because I needed some bugs fixed and an additional feature: https://github.com/joschi/kafka-gitops/

Happy to contribute the changes back, although I had to revert one or two commits to make the tests work again.

This being said, what do you think about joining efforts with https://github.com/kafka-ops/julie, which seems to have the same focus and approach for managing Kafka clusters? (CC: @purbon)

Looks like https://github.com/kafka-ops/julie is now also officially unmaintained.

Which leaves us with the newcomer https://github.com/streamthoughts/jikkou. 🥲 https://medium.com/@fhussonnois/why-is-managing-kafka-topics-still-such-a-pain-introducing-jikkou-4ee9d5df948
