rdkafka VS KafkaHQ

We could have made some changes at the librdkafka level (see this), but we didn’t really want to pursue this (at least not yet). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

As my first "real world" (ish) project in Vlang, I'm trying to copy https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go, which is a Go wrapper for Kafka C client library, https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka. Source: over 1 year ago

If you're using Kafka in a Node.js app, it's likely that you'll need node-rdkafka. This is a library that wraps the librdkafka library and makes it available in Node.js. According to the project's README, "All the complexity of balancing writes across partitions and managing (possibly ever-changing) brokers should be encapsulated in the library.". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

You are right, but in practice that's not what happens. Companies do not rely on open source libraries, the developers working for such companies do. I can give you a realistic example. If you want to use Kafka and Go, your probably only option is to use https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go. Its LICENSE explicitly says "no warranty". Now, what if I find a bug in the library? Only two realistic... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

The project start as a side project (yet another side project I do the night and weekend) but was quickly promoted and used in a French Big Retail Company. This one trust on the project and decide to go production with Kestra. So they decide to inject some resource in order to develop some features that need and that is missing. But basically, not so much people for now. We are trying to start a community around... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Hey HN, I'm really proud to share with you my new open source project: Kestra https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra I created a few years ago a successful open source AKHQ project: https://github.com/tchiotludo/akhq (renamed from KafkaHQ) which has been adopted by big companies like Best Buy, Pipedrive, BMW, Decathlon and many more. 2300 stars, 120 contributors, 10M docker downloads, much more than I expected. Now... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Three years ago, I started another open source project, AKHQ, with the same license. Working with a successful project was an invaluable experience for me as I was able to learn how to build a community around a project. I've also learnt that an open source system won't pay the bills on its own. AKHQ required a lot of personal investment; Kestra has required a lot more and will continue to do so in the future!... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
