muffin-kafka 0.9.0

Kafka Integration for Muffin framework

Muffin-Kafka

Muffin-Kafka is an Apache Kafka integration plugin for the Muffin web framework, built on top of aiokafka.

---

🚀 Features

• Async Kafka integration using aiokafka
• Per-topic task model — each topic is consumed in an isolated asyncio task
• Simple handler registration using @plugin.handle_topics(...)
• Manual or auto-commit support, custom group IDs
• Producer support (send / send_and_wait)
• Built-in monitoring with offsets, lag, and poll delay
• Healthcheck support for liveness probes and observability
• Optional error handler via @plugin.handle_error(...)

---

✅ Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.10
• Muffin ≥ 0.71
• Kafka cluster or broker (local or cloud)

---

📦 Installation

pip install muffin-kafka

⚙️ Usage

    from muffin import Application
    from muffin_kafka import Kafka

    app = Application("example")

    # Initialize the plugin with config options
    kafka = Kafka(app, bootstrap_servers="localhost:9092", produce=True, listen=True)

🧩 Registering Handlers

Use @kafka.handle_topics(...) to register a handler for specific Kafka topics:

    @kafka.handle_topics("events.user", "events.auth")
    async def handle_event(message):
        data = message.value.decode()
        print("Received:", data)

You can also register a global error handler:

    @kafka.handle_error
    async def on_error(exc):
        print("Kafka error:", exc)

📤 Sending Messages

You can send messages to Kafka topics using the send or send_and_wait methods:

    # Send a message without waiting for acknowledgment
    await kafka.send("events.user", {"action": "signup"}, key="user123")

    # Or wait for broker acknowledgment
    result = await kafka.send_and_wait("events.user", {"action": "login"})

🔄 Healthcheck

You can monitor consumer health by checking lag across partitions:

    # Check if Kafka lag is within acceptable limits
    ok = await kafka.healthcheck(max_lag=1000)
    if not ok:
        raise RuntimeError("Kafka lag too high")

📊 Monitoring

If monitor=True is passed, the plugin will log:

• Committed offsets
• Latest offsets
• Poll timestamps
• Per-partition lag and delay

This data can be extended for Prometheus/Grafana metrics or alerting.

⚙️ Configuration Options

You can pass configuration options either as keyword arguments to the plugin:

kafka = Kafka(app, bootstrap_servers="localhost:9092", produce=True)

Or set them via Muffin's config system (e.g. .env, YAML):

"KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS": "localhost:9092",
"KAFKA_PRODUCE": True,

listen	bool	True	Enable consumers (message listening)
monitor	bool	False	Enable internal consumer monitor
