kafka-rust
A pure Rust client library for Apache Kafka with consumer, producer, and client APIs.
What is kafka-rust?
kafka-rust is a native Rust client library for Apache Kafka that provides safe and efficient interaction with Kafka clusters from Rust applications. It offers both high-level consumer and producer APIs for common messaging patterns and a mid-level client for more direct control over operations like metadata loading and offset management.
Rust developers building applications that need to produce to or consume from Apache Kafka clusters, particularly those prioritizing a pure Rust implementation with minimal dependencies.
Developers choose kafka-rust for its idiomatic Rust design, safety focus, and pure Rust dependencies like rustls for TLS, which improve portability and simplify builds compared to bindings to C libraries. It offers flexibility with both high-level convenience APIs and mid-level control, tested across a wide range of Kafka versions from 0.8.2 to 3.1.0.
