confluent-tuning-advisor

Advisory-only Kafka tuning for Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform by priority: latency, throughput, availability, or durability. Use when asked to size a planned topic or tune an existing cluster, topic, producer, or consumer for a quantified target such as lower p99 latency or no lost acknowledged writes. Inspects configuration read-only and recommends changes, trade-offs, and validation; the administrator applies them. Do NOT trigger for: WarpStream or Apache Kafka OSS-only clusters; Flink SQL or UDF authoring, tuning, or debugging (use confluent-cloud-flink-sql or flink-udf); Kafka Connect tuning; new Java/Python client implementation (use developing-kafka-java-client or developing-kafka-python-client); Kafka Streams/KStream/KTable development (use kafka-streams-programming); or CDC, Tableflow, or Iceberg pipelines (use confluent-cloud-cdc-tableflow).

Version

1.0.1

Compatibility

Advisory / read-only, no bundled scripts. Inspection uses the Confluent CLI (`confluent`) logged in, a configured Confluent MCP server, or the Kafka REST v3 / REST Proxy v3 API (config reads) and Cloud Metrics API / Platform JMX (metric reads). Needs read access to Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform; local Docker with `confluent-local` or `cp-all-in-one` is supported for development testing.
