Hi Team,

Can we use cp-helm-charts for production use, If not what are the changes to make it for production use from below link.

https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-helm-charts

I am planning to use below services from confluent community images.

kafka-connect kafka ksql-server schema-registry zookeeper

Thanks, Bharath

You can "use" these charts fine. They are not "supported" and probably won't have frequent releases, is what mostly is meant by "not for production use".

Individually, each container can be deployed into a production environment, but may require a fair amount of configuration

@OneCricketeer Lack of support is fine, but can the components listed in the question be used perpetually without a license?

OneCricketeer commented 1 year ago

You'll need to refer to the individual components for licensing. Helm doesn't change this.

For example, Replicator and Control Center require a paid enterprise license. Kafka brokers, are Apache 2.0 license. Schema Registry, REST Proxy, ksqlDB, etc are all under Confluent Community license
