Kafka: 2. Find the Kafka service store

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Kafka, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero gives you a fully managed Kafka cloud environment, ready in minutes. Here is what you can expect:

• No limits on message size or transfer: scale your data without worrying about caps.
• Simple, one-click updates keep your platform current without downtime or manual work.
• Consistent high performance and robust security on your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

If you want to move faster and reduce operational overhead, Stackhero provides Kafka cloud hosting to help you. You can have a production-ready cluster in about 5 minutes.

Next, you will want to list the Kafka service stores available to your account. The CLI accepts the store name (kafka) directly, so there is no need to look up or copy any IDs.

# List Kafka service stores (add --organization if you manage more than one)
stackhero services-store-list --name="kafka"

You can refer to the store name kafka in subsequent commands, or choose a specific svs-xxxxxx ID from the list if you prefer.
