Welcome to Cruise Control

Cruise Control is a project that helps operate Kafka hands-free!

Cruise Control provides the following features out of the box:

Continually balance a Kafka cluster with respect to disk, network and CPU utilization.
When a broker fails, automatically reassign replicas that were on that broker to other brokers in the cluster and restore the original replication factor.
Identify the topic-partitions that consume the most resources in the cluster.
Support one-click cluster expansions and broker decommissions.
Support heterogeneous Kafka clusters and multiple brokers per machine.

Follow our quick start and try it out. You may also want to take a look at configurations to adjust the configurations by yourself.

If you will encounter any issues please open an issue here and we encourage you to provide a patch through github pull request as well.
