  • Any major projects using generics?
    13 projects | /r/golang | 31 Oct 2022
    For libraries I use at work, cmap has a v2 using generics. I think that's a fairly widely used library. The events library we use is updated, but not released. When I get a chance, planning on looking on moving to hooks, which does have released generics support.

    Looks interesting. I was actually considering writing something like this, as we use https://github.com/kataras/go-events, which is similar, but doesn't have released generics support yet. I'll give this a try before trying to bake my own.

    Note: Since there are multiple Go clients for Kafka (including Sarama), please make sure to consult their client documentation to confirm whether they support IAM authentication.

    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

    I've used mainly sarama wrapped with a bit of bespoke helper libraries. Never really looked into others, just grabbed one that was actively maintained and went for it.
  • Golang bad design reference
    6 projects | /r/golang | 23 Nov 2022
    Well, as someone who reviews a lot of code, I don't like seeing 100s of little files when a handful of logically grouped files would do. For example, this popular go project: https://github.com/Shopify/sarama is currently 256 small .go files, largely following a one class/file rule.

    The first example is something we ran into while working on a project. Up until recently, the sarama library (Go library for Apache Kafka) contained the following piece of code (at sarama/version.go):
  • AWS MSK with go sarama

    Im using the go sarama library to connect to the cluster, using this basic example.

    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.
