Kafka-Pixy

Kafka-Pixy is a dual API (gRPC and REST) proxy for Kafka with automatic consumer group control. It is designed to hide the complexity of the Kafka client protocol and provide a stupid simple API that is trivial to implement in any language. Kafka-Pixy is tested against Kafka versions 1.1.1 and 2.3.0, but is likely to work with any version starting from 0.8.2.2. It uses the Kafka Offset Commit/Fetch API to keep track of consumer offsets. However Group Membership API is not yet implemented, therefore it needs to talk to Zookeeper directly to manage consumer group membership. Kafka-Pixy does not support wildcard subscriptions and therefore cannot coexist in a consumer group with clients using them. It should be possible to use other clients in the same consumer group as kafka-pixy instance if they subscribe to topics by their full names, but that has never been tested so do that at your own risk.
