+description: >
+  Using Localstack lambda with self-managed Kafka cluster
+---
+
+Localstack does not currently support AWS MSK out of the box, but you can run your own self-managed Kafka cluster and integrate it with your own applications.
+
+## Running self-managed Kafka
+
+You can find the [example Docker Compose](docker-compose.yml) file which contains a single-noded ZooKeeper and a Kafka cluster and a simple LocalStack setup as well as [Kowl](https://github.com/cloudhut/kowl), an Apache Kafka Web UI.
+
+1. Run Docker Compose:
+
+{{< command >}}
+$ docker-compose up -d
+{{< / command >}}
+
+2. Create the Lambda function:
+
+{{< command >}}
+$ awslocal lambda create-function \
+    --function-name fun1 \
+    --handler lambda.handler \
+    --runtime python3.8 \
+    --role r1 \
+    --zip-file fileb://lambda.zip
+{
+    "FunctionName": "fun1",
+    "FunctionArn": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:000000000000:function:fun1",
+    "Runtime": "python3.8",
+    "Role": "r1",
+    "Handler": "lambda.handler",
+    "CodeSize": 294,
+    "Description": "",
+    "Timeout": 3,
+    "LastModified": "2021-05-19T02:01:06.617+0000",
+    "CodeSha256": "/GPsiNXaq4tBA4QpxPCwgpeVfP7j+1tTH6zdkJ3jiU4=",
+    "Version": "$LATEST",
+    "VpcConfig": {},
+    "TracingConfig": {
+        "Mode": "PassThrough"
+    },
+    "RevisionId": "d85469d2-8558-4d75-bc0e-5926f373e12c",
+    "State": "Active",
+    "LastUpdateStatus": "Successful",
+    "PackageType": "Zip"
+}
+{{< / command >}}
+
+3. Create an example secret:
+
+{{< command >}}
+$ awslocal secretsmanager create-secret --name localstack
+{
+    "ARN": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:000000000000:secret:localstack-TDIuI",
+    "Name": "localstack",
+    "VersionId": "32bbb8e2-46ee-4322-b3d5-b6459d54513b"
+}
+{{< / command >}}
+
+4. Create an example Kafka topic:
+
+{{< command >}}
+$ docker exec -ti kafka kafka-topics --zookeeper zookeeper:2181 --create --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic t1
+Created topic t1.
+{{< / command >}}
+
+5. Create the event source mapping to your local kafka cluster:
+
+{{< command >}}
+$ awslocal lambda create-event-source-mapping \
+    --topics t1 \
+    --source-access-configuration Type=SASL_SCRAM_512_AUTH,URI=arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:000000000000:secret:localstack-TDIuI \
+    --function-name arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:000000000000:function:fun1 \
+    --self-managed-event-source '{"Endpoints":{"KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS":["localhost:9092"]}}'
+{
+    "UUID": "4a2b0ea6-960c-4847-8684-465876dd6dbd",
+    "BatchSize": 100,
+    "FunctionArn": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:000000000000:function:fun1",
+    "LastModified": "2021-05-19T04:02:49+02:00",
+    "LastProcessingResult": "OK",
+    "State": "Enabled",
+    "StateTransitionReason": "User action",
+    "Topics": [
+        "t1"
+    ],
+    "SourceAccessConfigurations": [
+        {
+            "Type": "SASL_SCRAM_512_AUTH",
+            "URI": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:000000000000:secret:localstack-TDIuI"
+        }
+    ],
+    "SelfManagedEventSource": {
+        "Endpoints": {
+            "KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS": [
+                "localhost:9092"
+            ]
+        }
+    }
+}
+{{< / command >}}
+
+6. Aditionally visit `http://localhost:8080` for Kowl's UI.
