What does HackerNews think of jocko?

Kafka implemented in Golang with built-in coordination (No ZK dep, single binary install, Cloud Native)

Language: Go

#33 in Go

Still early stages but building on top of this. - https://github.com/travisjeffery/jocko

Since, the author has moved onto other projects. decided it would be an interesting challenge

Kafka implemented in Go without needing Zookeeper.

Finally! Travis Jeffery did this years ago in Jocko and also solved my other beef with Kafka at the same time by building it in Golang.

I’ve always found things built on JVM are are PITA to deploy (especially when using SSL) so the single Golang binary is a welcome advancement.

It’s all the good things about Kafka (concept, API, and wire protocol) without all the crap (zookeeper dep, JVM foundation)

There's a toy Kafka implementation written in Go that attempts to do this: https://github.com/travisjeffery/jocko

On a somewhat related note there is a link implementation of Kafka written in Go called Jocko.[0]

Kafka has come a long way. Kudos to confluent team.

I came across some projects which claim to be full or partial alternative to Kafka with better scalability and less operational overhead.

Has anyone tried it in their project ?
