Introduction to Apache Kafka® for Python Programmers

Apache Kafka is being integrated with Python applications, leveraging the Confluent Platform for ease of installation and configuration. The Confluent Python client, confluent-kafka-python, uses the high-performance C client librdkafka. A simple program demonstrates how to write a message to a Kafka topic using a Producer instance, while another example shows how to create a consumer that joins a consumer group and reads messages from assigned partitions. Advanced features of kafka python integration include AvroProducer and AvroConsumer classes for serializing data in Avro format, as well as support for schema registry. Expert advice on deploying or operating Kafka is available through Confluent's training and technical consulting services, including enterprise-grade support and a hosted and fully managed version of Apache Kafka with Confluent Cloud.
