Getting Started

If you want to both produce and consume messages, please use Karafka. It integrates WaterDrop automatically.

To get started with WaterDrop:

  1. Add it to your Gemfile:
bundle add waterdrop
  1. Create and configure a producer:
producer = WaterDrop::Producer.new do |config|
  config.deliver = true
  config.kafka = {
    'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092',
    'request.required.acks': 1
  }
end
  1. Use it as follows:
# sync producing
producer.produce_sync(topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message')

# or for async
producer.produce_async(topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message')

# or in sync batches
producer.produce_many_sync(
  [
    { topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message'},
    { topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message'}
  ]
)

# and async batches
producer.produce_many_async(
  [
    { topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message'},
    { topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message'}
  ]
)

# transactions
producer.transaction do
  producer.produce_async(topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message')
  producer.produce_async(topic: 'my-topic', payload: 'my message')
end
