Hi Soichi, “Producer” and “Consumer” are words used in Kafka, as such Alpakka’s Kafka integration uses them as well. (Note that Akka-Steam-Kafka is part of Alpakka, even if in an separate repository)
The prime idea in all Alpakka things is that there are Sources (i.e. the Consumer (consumes from kafka)) and Sinks. These are types from Akka Streams, and mean sources and sinks of data. If you think about them in those terms, it’s easier to map what you need to the apropriate API. For example in Kinesis, there’s KinesisSource and KinesisSink: https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/alpakka/current/kinesis.html Hope this helps! // And happy holidays (today) ;-) -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso <http://kto.so>' Malawski Akka <http://akka.io/> @ Lightbend <http://lightbend.com/> On January 7, 2018 at 13:57:29, Soichi Ishida ([email protected]) wrote: I am new to alpakka, trying to shift from kafka to aws kinesis.
