kafka-rust VS kafka-go

Project: https://github.com/kafka-rust/kafka-rust

I browsed through it and the feedback in the issues seemed to indicate it was idle but a new maintainer had stepped up. Issues like this make me question the direction of it though. I'm not knocking the maintainer, I've been in situations where disabling tests seemed like a good idea, but you learn from experience that's more often than not, with the caveat of major refactors, an indication of either a systemic problem or lack of comprehension on the project as a whole..

I don't know if you saw this issue, but the offer still stands: https://github.com/kafka-rust/kafka-rust/issues/179

There are two main libraries that people use to write clients Confluent Kafka and segment io kafka

Unlike the standard scripts, and many binary clients, it's a native, statically-compiled, binary. It uses segmentio/go-kafka internally, which means CGO can be disabled during compilation.

Scaling up our producers/consumers proved to be more cost-effective than adding more CPU/brokers to the Kafka cluster. To accomplish this, we used the segmentio/kafka-go client library which provides an excellent abstraction for interacting with the cluster and will handle data compression completely transparently.

I want to announce the first release of a kafkagosaur, a new Kafka client. It's built using WebAssembly and binds to the kafka-go library. The first release includes functionality to read and write Kafka messages and SASL support.

Use the Segment Kafka library, not Sarama, it’s much easier to use https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go

Segment learned quite some time ago that librdkafka-go has problems like these (and doesn’t support Contexts either), so they wrote a pure Go replacement instead. https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go
