Flowly-Kafka

Introduction

Flowly-Kafka is a Rust-based library designed to simplify interactions with Apache Kafka. This library provides a high-level abstraction for Kafka producers and consumers, making it easier to integrate Kafka into your Rust projects.

Features

• Async Producers and Consumers: Utilizes asynchronous programming to handle message production and consumption efficiently.
• Configuration Management: Centralized management of Kafka client configurations through a structured Config struct.
• Logging and Error Handling: Provides detailed logging options and robust error handling mechanisms.

Dependencies

The following dependencies are required to use Flowly-Kafka:

• async-stream
• bytes
• flowly
• futures
• log
• rdkafka
• serde (with derive feature)
• thiserror

Usage

To get started with Flowly-Kafka, add the library as a dependency in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
flowly-kafka = "0.1.0"

Then, you can use the library in your Rust project as follows:

use flowly_kafka::KafkaConsumer;
// Add other imports and initialization here

fn main() {
    // Initialize Flowly-Kafka with your custom configuration
    let config = /* construct your Configuration */;
    let kafka_client = KafkaConsumer::new(config);

    // Use the Kafka client to produce and consume messages
}

Refer to the library documentation for detailed API usage examples.
