`ruststream-rdkafka` connects a RustStream service to Apache Kafka over
[`rdkafka`](https://docs.rs/rdkafka), the librdkafka binding. Handlers, routing, codecs and
middleware come from the framework; this crate is the transport.
## Features
- **Consumer groups as descriptors:** one topic, a set of topics or a regex, or partitions
assigned by hand.
- **Three commit modes:** librdkafka auto-commit, precise per-message acknowledgement, and
commits inside a producer transaction.
- **Record keys and placement:** the partition key becomes the Kafka key, and a publish can pin a
record to a partition.
- **Native batches** cut from what librdkafka has already fetched.
- **Retry caps and dead-letter topics** declared where the handler is mounted.
- **Transactions and exactly-once pipelines** as publish policies.
- **Repositioning:** a handler moves its subscription to an offset or a timestamp.
- **Confluent Schema Registry** framing, with Avro and Protobuf, behind features.
- **AsyncAPI** with the specification's `kafka` binding, behind the `asyncapi` feature.
- **Tests on the production app:** the app `main` runs, with `KafkaBroker` connected to an
in-process Kafka, or against a real cluster with `TestApp::start_live`.
## Install
```toml
[dependencies]
ruststream = { version = "0.7", features = ["macros", "json"] }
ruststream-rdkafka = "0.7"
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
[dev-dependencies]
ruststream-rdkafka = { version = "0.7", features = ["testing"] }
```
The crate builds librdkafka from source, so a C toolchain is required. Optional features:
`testing`, `asyncapi`, `schema-registry`, `avro`, `protobuf`, `msgpack`, `cbor`, `ssl`,
`ssl-vendored` and `zstd`.
## Write a service
```rust
use ruststream_rdkafka::prelude::*;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
// `Outgoing`, `PartialEq` and `Serialize` are here for the test below, which publishes an order
// and asserts on the decoded one.
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Outgoing, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct Order {
id: u64,
}
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Outgoing, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct Confirmation {
id: u64,
}
#[subscriber(
KafkaTopic::new("orders").commit(Commit::Tracked),
reply("confirmations")
)]
async fn confirm(order: &Order) -> Confirmation {
Confirmation { id: order.id }
}
#[ruststream::app]
fn app() -> impl App {
RustStream::new(AppInfo::new("orders", "0.1.0")).with_broker(
KafkaBroker::new(["localhost:9092"]).default_group("orders-svc"),
|b| {
b.include(confirm);
},
)
}
```
`#[ruststream::app]` generates `main`, so the binary understands `run` and `asyncapi gen`.
Scaffold a fresh project from the template:
```bash
cargo generate --git https://github.com/powersemmi/ruststream-rdkafka templates/kafka-topic --name my-service
```
## Test it
`TestApp` runs the app `main` runs, with `KafkaBroker` connected to an in-process Kafka and no
cluster.
```rust
use ruststream::testing::TestApp;
let tb = TestApp::start(app()).await?;
// `publish` returns once the handlers it woke have settled, so the assertions read finished state.
tb.broker::<KafkaBroker>()
.message(&Order { id: 42 })
.to("orders")
.publish()
.await?;
tb.broker::<KafkaBroker>()
.subscriber("orders")
.assert_called_once()
.settled(HandlerOutcome::ack());
tb.broker::<KafkaBroker>()
.published::<Confirmation>("confirmations")
.assert_called_once()
.with(&Confirmation { id: 42 });
```
