How easy is it to get Kafka and Rust working together?

[olauzon]

Fairly straightforward overall using https://crates.io/crates/kafka. The client doesn't automatically handle Kafka node failures, so that's the responsibility of your application code.

I haven't had the chance to try https://github.com/fede1024/rust-rdkafka yet, but it looks promising and partially wraps the C/C++ library https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.
