Im a 3rd year student building a Java SpringBoot library for Kafka
The library handles the retries for you( you can customise the delay, burst speed and what exceptions are retryable ) , dead letter queues.
It also takes care of logging for you, all metrics are are available through 2 APIS, one for summarised metrics and the other for detailed metrics including last failed exception, kafka topic, event details, time of failure and much more.
My library is still in active development and no where near perfect, but it is working for what ive tested it on.
Im just here looking for second opinions, and if anyone would like to test it themeselves that would be great!
