There are several alternatives posted here already, but after comparing several ones maybe a year ago I found Kowl very nice: Nice UI, backend written in Go (quick startup, low memory usage), viewing and filtering of messages, support for schema registry, comes with a Docker image, usable locally and Helm chart for Kubernetes.

kowl is awesome. The only missing feature I've found is that when looking at groups, only lag is shown but not the actual position.

In the newer versions you can see the actual offset in the group details page :-)
