node-rdkafka VS kafkajs

Open producer.ts to see the code you need to send the data to an Apache Kafka topic. To work with Apache Kafka you can use one of the existing client libraries, there are several options available. This project uses node-rdkafka, which is a NodeJS wrapper for the Kafka C/C++ library. Check its GitHub repository Readme for installation steps.

Apache Kafka seemed to work very well with node.js in the beginning. node-rdkafka performed really well (https://github.com/Blizzard/node-rdkafka -> wrapper for librdkafka) .

And some native modules, like node-rdkafka will spawn threads of their own.

If you're using Kafka in a Node.js app, it's likely that you'll need node-rdkafka. This is a library that wraps the librdkafka library and makes it available in Node.js. According to the project's README, "All the complexity of balancing writes across partitions and managing (possibly ever-changing) brokers should be encapsulated in the library."

I will use the KafkaJS library to achieve it quickly. Let’s just paste the code here.

The streaming database writes back results to Kafka topics by using sink operation in real-time. Now, we need to add JavaScript code to consume and process discount messages received from Kafka and update the UI in real-time to display them. We can use the KafkaJS library, which is a popular Kafka client for Node.js to listen and consume Kafka messages.

Before we start producing and consuming events, we need to install Kafka to our API. We will use the Kafka.js client library for Node.js.

Once Kafka runs on Kube-native support that Strimzi offers, you can now start utilizing Node.js to create your streams and use libraries such as KafkaJS, a modern Apache Kafka client for Node.js.
