rpk generate app

Generate a sample application to connect with Redpanda.

This command generates a starter application to produce and consume from the settings defined in the rpk profile. Its goal is to get you producing and consuming quickly with Redpanda in a language that is familiar to you.

By default, this will run interactively, prompting you to select a language and a user with which to create your application. To use this without interactivity, specify how you would like your application to be created using flags.

The --language option allows you to specify the language. The default is go. Available language: go.

The --new-sasl-credentials <user>:<password> allows you to generate a new SASL user with admin ACLs. If you don’t want to use your current profile user nor create a new one, you may use --no-user flag to generate the starter app without the user.

If you are having trouble connecting to your cluster, you can use -X admin.hosts=comma,delimited,host:ports to pass a specific admin api address.
