We are pleased to announce the release of the first development milestone of Akka Reactive Kafka, which is an Akka Streams connector for Kafka.
The project has been incorporated in the Akka github family: akka/reactive-kafka <https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka>. It was originally developed by SoftwareMill <https://softwaremill.com/> and its vibrant community. By pulling it into the Akka family we–Lightbend and the core Akka team–aim to provide the best possible experience for users of this important library. We will maintain it together with our partner SoftwareMill and the community as a whole. Commercial support will be provided by Lightbend <http://www.lightbend.com/>. We have performed major API changes since the 0.10 version and we are therefore looking for your feedback. If you are curious about the reasoning leading towards the new APIs, all discussions are publicly available on either the akka-meta <https://github.com/akka/akka-meta/issues/13> or reactive-kafka <https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka> repositories. You can see examples of the API in the README <https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka/blob/master/README.md>. We would especially like to thank Alexey Romanchuk <https://github.com/13h3r> for his active involvement in the design of the new API, and the implementation is based on his work. Development milestone note The milestone release is not ready for production usage yet, but this is the time to try it out and improve it. We hope you can help us with that. Next steps There are several things remaining before we can release the final 0.11.0. You, the community, can help us to get this done. Join the gitter room akka/reactive-kafka <https://gitter.im/akka/reactive-kafka> and we will guide you.
