- sumtechguy 6y agonice! Just skimmed the docs. Does it handle ACL or stretched cluster yet? Planned?
- bhyolken 6y agoNot yet! But would be happy to look into those and/or get help adding them.
- dblooman 6y agoDid you look at using terraform for managing kafka topics?
- pryz 6y agoSegment employee here. Yes, we looked at Terraform to manage our topics. We are big Terraform user to manage our infrastructure. We mostly didn't go that way because we didn't want to have to manage the Terraform state. We also wanted the tool to be extensible and writing custom TF providers can sometime be tricky.
- xref 6y agoIs there a reason you chose not to use ACLs? We did enable them, but it feels like it is causing more headaches than any security benefit it might provide...
- pryz 6y agoI guess we just haven't got the need to use ACL yet. This may be something we will look later on. We have been started to implement what's needed to leverage things like SASL in our instrumentation but we are not there yet (see https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go).
