## Other kafkactls

There are multiple applications that call themselves `kafkactl`. All of them
have been developed independently but with similar feature sets.

This incarnation of `kafkactl` was created at [Fraugster][fraugster] in September 2017.
It was a useful tool for many years and we decided to keep it around even after Fraugster
ceased to exist, mainly because we are very used to it and maybe for sentimental reasons.

Other `kafkactl` implementations come with similar features (e.g. Protobuf support,
managing configuration with kubectl-like contexts). We list them here, so you can
pick the tool that serves your use case best:
