What is kaffe?
Kaffe is an opinionated Elixir wrapper around the Brod Erlang Kafka client that simplifies building Kafka producers and consumers. It provides a higher-level API for common Kafka operations, with built-in support for encrypted connections to Heroku Kafka and features like batch message processing.
Elixir developers building applications that need to produce or consume messages from Apache Kafka, particularly those deploying to Heroku or requiring secure, production-ready Kafka integrations.
Developers choose Kaffe because it reduces boilerplate configuration, handles encryption and Heroku integration automatically, and provides robust batch processing capabilities while maintaining compatibility with the underlying Brod client's performance and scalability.
