kafka-benchmark
A tool to run programmable benchmarks on Kafka clusters.
This tool uses the high-performance rdkafka Rust client library for Kafka (based on the C library librdkafka), and is able to produce at extremely high speed to the cluster you want to benchmark.
Benchmark scenarios are configurable using a YAML file.
Examples
This is an example run while producing messages to localhost, on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4712HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz:
→ git clone https://github.com/fede1024/kafka-benchmark.git
[...]
→ cd kafka-benchmark/
→ cargo install
[...]
→ kafka-benchmark producer config/base_producer.yaml msg_bursts_base
