It would be great if Kaskade had AWS-style profiles so we could stop retyping connection flags all the time.
Right now, if you work with multiple Kafka clusters or different roles (admin, reader, writer), you have to pass a lot of -b, -c, and --registry args every run. Profiles would make that a one-liner.

Proposed idea:

• Add a dotfile config (for example ~/.kaskade/config) with named profiles like dev-admin, prod-reader, prod-writer.
• Add --profile to both kaskade admin and kaskade consumer.
• Add --list-profiles so users can quickly see what’s available.

Example usage:

• kaskade admin --profile prod-admin
• kaskade consumer --profile dev-reader -t payments
