I once made the NodeJS Kafka client KafkaJS run in a browser with a websocket-to-tcp-socket shim. If we combine the two we can now have a browser based client talk to a broker cluster running on edge workers. Just gotta integrate it with Google Sheets and wait for the VC money.
- m00dy 4y agowhat are the advantages of having this design ?
- nevon 4y agoNone, but it's really cool to see it working.
- maxwellpeterson 4y agoYep, one of the challenges here is that KafkaJS requires Kafka 0.10+, which is true for several other popular clients. For this broker implementation to be somewhat practical, it would need to be extended to 0.10.0 at least. 0.8.0 was a nice, simple starting point for a “proof of concept” project like this.
