kafrust

kafrust is a pure Rust Kafka client with no librdkafka or C toolchain dependency.

The public alpha exposes:

• low-level Kafka request roundtrips through Client
• metadata-routed producer sends through ProducerConfig
• direct topic/partition fetch through ConsumerConfig
• classic consumer group join, poll, heartbeat, and commit through ConsumerGroupConfig

The client keeps Kafka concepts visible: bootstrap servers, client IDs, topics, partitions, offsets, acknowledgements, metadata refresh, consumer groups, heartbeats, and commits are represented directly in the API.

See the repository README and docs/ directory for the roadmap, alpha limits, and broker smoke test workflow.
