Kafka Integration for Muffin framework

Project description

Muffin-Kafka

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

Tests Status PYPI Version Python Versions


🚀 Features

  • Async Kafka integration using aiokafka
  • Single or batch message consumption — stream messages one-by-one or read in batches
  • 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 via send
  • Built-in monitoring with offsets, lag, and poll delay
  • Healthcheck manage command 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 method:

    # Send a message
    await kafka.send("events.user", {"action": "signup"}, key="user123")

🔄 Healthcheck

Run the kafka-healthcheck management command to check consumer lag:

    python app.py kafka-healthcheck

Or programmatically via Muffin's manage command:

    # Check specific topics
    await app.manage.commands["kafka-healthcheck"]("events.user", max_lag=1000)

📊 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,
