In order to run Kafka on Windows, you will need to have a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.

[{"selector":"#anim-f55bc111-c131-4a80-9e90-e6fc5700a503 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8f47565-f8e4-48dc-bb56-7267f5498ea8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2537651-3f7a-488e-bf1a-f4af8cf0a402","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -370.94548%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kafka can be run as a standalone service on Windows, or it can be run as part of a distributed cluster of brokers.

There are a number of third-party tools and libraries available for integrating Kafka with other systems and applications on Windows,

[{"selector":"#anim-417ece29-80ec-4e50-ad1f-65a089965d28 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71a81eb4-8205-40de-b9d2-dac65952fad2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36b4fbaf-dfd4-4fc2-a941-69c1ce586aa2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -319.1867%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kafka can be used on Windows to build a wide range of streaming applications like:real-time data processing, event-driven architectures,etc.

[{"selector":"#anim-e9d97b53-b494-4275-b65b-2eb158ae6bcc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80e66fbd-cd02-496a-82d5-5a55648d806d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10c4157b-de60-4266-8601-34f81f845345","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -289.47885%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Kafka Manager web interface and the Confluent Control Center can be used for monitoring and managing Kafka clusters on Windows

[{"selector":"#anim-5b0ed1e2-d155-4647-ba85-289b245fcb7f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-207db7fa-7fb1-467c-a026-41b8aea49348","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-023590f2-da89-4009-9fb4-a6bfbc073f26","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -282.39922%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
