## Source excerpt

Table of Contents Discussion and Outlook 🧸 It's Casey. Casey Cuddle. I am very happy to announce the first stable release of kcctl, a modern and intuitive command line client for Apache Kafka Connect! Forget about having to memorize and type the right REST API paths and curl flags; with kcctl, managing your Kafka connectors is done via concise and logically structured commands, modeled after the semantics of the kubectl tool known from Kubernetes.
