Is there a way to connect to EventHub's Kafka using kafka-node module?

Question

I am trying to connect to EvenHub's Kafka using the more popular kafka-node library, but unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. It all works fine if I use the node-rdkafka package, but this looks like is not maintained so much anymore. (I am using SASL_SSL with a connection string)

Do you know of any working examples or whether it works in at all?

Many thanks!

Answer 1

Please open an issue against the Event Hubs Kafka repo for tracking purposes. https://github.com/Azure/azure-event-hubs-for-kafka/issues

Answer 2

Using Kafka-node to connect to Azure Event Hub is not possible, at the moment.

Kafka-node does not support SASL_SSL, which is required to connect to Event Hub.

There is an open issue to address this.
