Felice

What is Felice?

Felice is a nascent, opinionated Kafka library for Go, in Go.

Currently, you can use Felice to send and consume messages via Kafka topics.

Why "Felice"?

Felice Bauer was, at one time, Franz Kafka's fiance. He wrote her many messages, which she faithfuly kept, and later published.

Where should I start?

If you wish to send messages via Kafka, you should start by reading the documentation for the producer package. If you wish to consume messages from Kafka, you should start by reading the documentation for the consumer package. The message package contains the Message type that is shared by both consumer and producer code.

Default configuration

Felice uses the following default configuration:

Producer

• It uses murmur2 partitioner to be compatible with JVM ecosystem, specially KStreams
• A maximum of 3 attempts are made to produce a message before an error is returned
• It waits for all in-sync replicas to ack the message

Consumer

• It distributes load across partitions using round robin strategy
