NetEvolve.Pulse.Kafka

Apache Kafka transport for the NetEvolve.Pulse outbox processor.

Delivers outbox messages directly to Kafka topics using the Confluent.Kafka producer.

Getting Started

Register the Confluent.Kafka producer and admin client in DI, then call UseKafkaTransport():

// 1. Register the Confluent.Kafka producer (user's responsibility)
services.AddSingleton<IProducer<string, string>>(sp =>
    new ProducerBuilder<string, string>(
        new ProducerConfig { BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092", Acks = Acks.All })
    .Build());

// 2. Register the admin client (used for topic auto-creation and health checks)
services.AddSingleton<IAdminClient>(sp =>
    new AdminClientBuilder(
        new AdminClientConfig { BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092" })
    .Build());

// 3. Register the Pulse Kafka transport
services.AddPulse(config => config.AddOutbox().UseKafkaTransport());

Topic Routing

Topic names are resolved by the registered ITopicNameResolver. The default implementation (registered by AddOutbox()) returns the Type.Name of OutboxMessage.EventType, which is a System.Type, e.g. an event of type MyApp.Events.OrderCreated resolves to "OrderCreated".

Register a custom ITopicNameResolver before calling UseKafkaTransport() to override:

services.AddSingleton<ITopicNameResolver, MyCustomTopicNameResolver>();
services.AddPulse(config => config.AddOutbox().UseKafkaTransport());

Topic Auto-Creation

AutoCreateTopics is true by default. Before the first message to a topic, the transport calls IAdminClient.CreateTopicsAsync with these KafkaTransportOptions. It caches the topic once creation succeeds, reports TOPIC_ALREADY_EXISTS or is rejected with an authorization error. Any other failure is retried on the next send (once per topic within a batch):

Option Default Description
AutoCreateTopics true Create each topic before its first message.
DefaultPartitionCount 1 Partition count of auto-created topics.
DefaultReplicationFactor 1 Replication factor of auto-created topics. Most production clusters need 3.
MessageRetention null retention.ms of auto-created topics; null uses the broker default.

Creating a topic needs the CREATE ACL on the cluster or on the topic. When the broker answers with TOPIC_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED or CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED, the transport stops trying to create that topic and produces to it anyway. If the topic cannot be described either, it logs a warning. Any other creation error (for example POLICY_VIOLATION or INVALID_REPLICATION_FACTOR) fails the send with an InvalidOperationException that names the topic.

On managed clusters with pre-provisioned topics, turn auto-creation off:

services.AddPulse(config => config.AddOutbox().UseKafkaTransport(options => options.AutoCreateTopics = false));

Notes

  • IProducer<string, string> and IAdminClient must be registered by the caller.
  • IsHealthyAsync queries cluster metadata; returns false when the broker is unreachable.
