Kafka docker image that works without zookeepr

Question

I read that Kafka no longer requires zookeeper, so I don't want to have zookeeper in docker-compose. But I don't know which kafka image can work w/o zookeeper. can anyone give a hint?

Answer 1

I read that Kafka no longer requires zookeeper

You may well have read that in the future Apache Kafka will not need Zookeeper - this is detailed in KIP-500

However, this is not yet implemented, so for the time being (January 2021) you will still need a Zookeeper in your Docker Compose ensemble.
