Hi, @lukelongcn
Would you mind sharing a bit more detail about why sending messages one by one isn’t working for you? It’d be helpful to understand your use case better.

also, wdym 'multiple'? There's a checkbox to retain data upon sending the message

If we need to send 20+ messages to a Kafka topic, it will take significantly more time.

He means producing multiple messages (dozens, hundreds, thousands), without having to click multiple, dozens, or thousands of times.|

For example, I can easily produce, with 1-click, 100,000 random messages, with this tool:

... or, a million is 10 clicks (instead of 1,000,000).

Hi,

What tool is this? i am looking for a tool that can send multiple (Avro) messages with one click.

Thanks.

It's called KafkIO (https://kafkio.com), but it's a client-side GUI app that you run yourself, it's not a backend webapp like Kafbat. But supports Avro, Schema Registry and going through proxies (if you need), etc.

@credmond Thanks for the clarification—this makes things much clearer now. @Haarolean , could you please add this to the backlog?
If someone shows interest in sponsoring or implementing this feature, we'd be happy to include it in the next release.
