motor VS kafka-python

Mongox is a an async MongoDB ODM (Object Document Mapper)built on top of Motor and Pydantic. Mongox has a simple syntax, is easy to pick-up for people who have experience working with Python ORMs and is fully type-annotated.

MongoDB async backend included thanks to mongodb/motor

Instead I would recommend looking into motor. It's an asynchronous wrapper for pymongo. Has the same API as pymongo just async. (It's officially supported by mongodb itself.)

Kafka-python is a producer-consumer library for one message at a time applications. Quix Streams is a Python stream processing library for ML and AI applications. Use them together in your event streaming architecture.

If you're using kafka-python take a look at it's sourcecode.

contribute to opensource. companies care about distributed systems at the moment, so if you can contribute to something like kafka https://kafka.apache.org/project or a popular wrapper https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python, or a distributed systems platform https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda, that would be a strong signal that you can provide value and work with others as you deliver code.

I've been working on a pure-Racket Kafka client[1] off and on (for fun) since February and it's a good amount of work. When the official protocol docs and Wireshark fail me, I usually look at librdkafka and kafka-python[2] to figure out how things are supposed to fit together. Kudos to the authors of both libraries for writing code that's easy to follow!
