Ingesting Data into OpenSearch using Apache Kafka and Go
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.

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

Klient - a native, statically-compiled, command line client for Kafka
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
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.

Concurrency in Go is hard
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):

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.
