is Pandaproxy compatible with kafka or only redpanda

[raphaelauv]

Hi, in the blog post there is an example to use the Pandaproxy inside the redpanda docker image

but would it be possible to use Pandaproxy as a separate service ?
and also will it be compatible with kafka ( like the rest-proxy of confluent ) or it's only compatible with redpanda ?

Thank you !!!!!!

@raphaelauv - it aims to have the exact same API as rest-proxy and should be compatible with any Kafka-API so kafka or redpanda would work too.

@BenPope - do we have docs on how to start the pandaproxy only ?

@raphaelauv we aim to have it both ways, (proxy-only and redpanda+proxy)

also, moving this Q&A to discussion

It's not a tested scenario, but if you don't include the redpanda top-level config node, and do include pandaproxy and pandaproxy_client, it will start up in standalone mode and point to the kafka brokers configured with pandaproxy_client.brokers.

Config docs: https://vectorized.io/docs/configuration

I spotted a bug in the docs: #1300

@raphaelauv - let us know if you try it.

I would like to use the docker container https://hub.docker.com/r/vectorized/redpanda to run pandaproxy alone

Do you already have a working example (before I search myself a way) ?

Thank you
