# About Web UI


Karafka Web UI is a user interface for the [Karafka framework](https://github.com/karafka/karafka). The Web UI provides a convenient way for developers to monitor and manage their Kafka-based applications without using the command line or third-party software. It does **not** require any additional database beyond Kafka itself.

The user interface displays:

- real-time aggregated metrics
- real-time information on resources usage
- errors details
- performance statistics
- trends
- allows for Kafka topics data exploration
- routing and system information
- status of Web UI integration within your application

Karafka Web UI is shipped as a separate [gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/karafka-web) with minimal dependencies.
