Ingesting Data into OpenSearch using Apache Kafka and Go
Thankfully, Kafka and OpenSearch provide client libraries for a variety of programming languages which make it possible to write your own integration layer. This is exactly what's covered in this blog! We will make use of a custom Go application to ingest data using Go clients for Kafka and OpenSearch.

book about golang and kafka
You might want to gradually replace that one with https://github.com/twmb/franz-go because Shopify is looking to find a new owner for Sarama and, until or if they do, it seems to be falling behind with maintenance: https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2461 For example, they still haven’t addressed this breaking change https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2358. franz-go has worked well so far in Benthos https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos/tree/main/internal/impl/kafka and it will likely end up as the only implementation once the Sarama-based one will be deprecated

New Winner of Kafka Consumers: Scala to Go Journey
Can you post the code for that? Franz-go itself publishes benchmark samples for all clients here, so easy to run on your own machine and also review/adapt settings as needed: https://github.com/twmb/franz-go/tree/master/examples/bench

Show HN: A native macOS client for Apache Kafka
Franz is a fairly obvious name for a Kafka related tool/library so hopefully it won't get confused with https://github.com/twmb/franz-go

Oracle DB support in Benthos
github.com/twmb/franz-go -> also early days but this is looking like a fantastic option for a kafka client library if you fancy being an early adopter. I've done the rounds on many kafka client libraries and they always seem to be a harsh compromise in some form or another, but I feel good about this one

Benthos - Fancy stream processing made operationally mundane
If you find the kafka input slow, try kafka_franz. It might be a bit faster, since it’s based on https://github.com/twmb/franz-go. The kafka one is based on https://github.com/Shopify/sarama. You can also write a custom input based on https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go, but this library relies on CGo, which can be annoying.

Which library/project do you wish was ported to golang?
Redpanda isn’t implemented in Go, but I second its use over the Apache server. Plenty of clients out there in pure go. https://github.com/twmb/franz-go is a personal favorite
