Kafka - Elixir and Phoenix

Hi,

Is there anybody here who is using Kafka with phoenix?
What are the best connectors one has tried out with Elixir/Phoenix for Kafka?

Best,
Arun

Hello and welcome,

Probably this one… to use with Broadway.

Thanks. Isn’t “brod” better as it is has nothing to do with broadway and is a pure kafka connector ?
GitHub - kafka4beam/brod: Apache Kafka client library for Erlang/Elixir

I heard broadway internally uses brod.

Yes, Broadway uses brod. Using brod directly is also fine.

checked it. Appears to be more aligned to Elixir while leveraging the original battle tested brod library.
thanks
