Feature

https://www.cloudkarafka.com/ is great and reliable, but Confluent's Terraform Provider is equally tempting, let's set it up in parallel using a Basic cluster with zero or minimal costs

UPDATE: CloudKarafka reaches EOL in January 2025, so in fact we have to migrate all Kafka functionality to Confluent https://www.cloudkarafka.com/blog/end-of-life-announcement.html

Important announcement: CloudKarafka will discontinue its services. The product will reach its End of Life on January 27, 2025.
