Hi @bclubb are you looking to use the Kafka built-in protocol via admin API?
If we could provide a HTTP API endpoint, could that work for you?

Hi @jbrown-heroku

Before we had access to the built-in protocol a few years ago. I believe a change was made that removed the ACL from our access through the Heroku config user. That would be our preferred method.

Is the HTTP API you are talking about a Heroku platform API? If so then it would make our local development diverge from what happens in our Heroku hosted environments, which we would want to avoid.
