a. Visualize the publish/subscribe throughput for Kafka topics.
b. Provide real-time metrics on data flow across different topics and consumer groups.

4. Technical Requirements:

a. The tool must be developed in a way that is scalable and can easily integrate with existing Kafka clusters.
b. It should have a responsive and intuitive user interface, making it easy for users to monitor Kafka topics and consumer groups in real time.
c. Preferred stack for development: (mention your preferred tech stack if applicable, e.g., React.js for frontend, Java/Spring Boot for backend, etc.)

5. Deliverables:

a. A fully functional Kafka UI tool with the features listed above.
b. Detailed documentation on installation, configuration, and usage.
c. Support for at least 1-2 weeks post-deployment for any potential issues or bugs.

6. Proposal Requirements:

a. Your approach to developing the Kafka UI tool.
b. Estimated timeline and cost breakdown.
