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

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!

Solution

  • 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.
