Best practices for Apache Kafka event streaming and distributed messaging. Use when building event-driven architectures, implementing producer/consumer patterns, designing topic partitioning strategies, setting up Kafka Streams, configuring schema registries, or integrating change data capture pipelines.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kafka Development This skill provides best practices for Apache Kafka event streaming and distributed messaging systems. Apply these guidelines when building Kafka-based applications. ## Core Principles - Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform for high-throughput, fault-tolerant messaging - Unlike traditional pub/sub, Kafka uses a pull model - consumers pull messages from partitions - Design for scalability, durability, and exactly-once semantics where needed - Leave NO todos, placeholders, or missing pieces in the implementation ## Workflow: Setting Up a Kafka Producer-Consumer Pipeline 1. **Define the topic** — choose a descriptive name, set partition count based on expected consumer parallelism, and configure retention and replication factor. 2. **Design the message schema** — register an Avro or JSON schema in Schema Registry; ensure backward compatibility from the start. 3. **Implement the producer** — configure `acks=all`, enable idempotence, select a partition key that distributes evenly, and add error handling with retry logic. …

How to install
mdr add mindrally/skills/kafka-development@sha256:4d15cefbc9b63292The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
