Apache Kafka Node JS Client (Early Access)

Confluent, a leading developer and maintainer of Apache Kafka®, offers confluent-kafka-javascript on GitHub for Early Access use. The Node JS client is designed to integrate Node.js applications with Apache Kafka® clusters, enabling you to produce and consume messages from Kafka topics.

Confluent’s Node.js client is a wrapper around the librdkafka C library, ensuring high performance and reliability. The client supports various Kafka features like message production, consumption, and exactly-once semantics.

For a Quick Start and other reference documentation, see confluent-kafka-javascript on GitHub. For an introduction, see the Introduction to Confluent-Kafka-JavaScript. For migrating existing code, see the KafkaJS Migration Guide.
