Is The Project Still Actively Maintained ?

[mickdelaney]

Hi,

We're looking at potentially adopting and contributing to kafkaflow.

But I wanted to get an understanding of where the project is from a maintainence point of view.
It seems that activity has dropped off.
Are the core team still working on the project ?
Are there plans for new releases ?
Would it be possible to get involved ?

Regards

Same position. Considering replacing our selfmade solution with Kafkaflow as it's well established, more robust and powerful. But seeing that it runs on Kafka 2.1.1 while 2.8 is latest, the pain of changing all to that library which has open PRs and issues since mid 2024 without any change ... I guess reinventing the wheel for our needs remains the way to go unfortunately.

By the looks of it it's not just lack of community participation but also lack of active contributors who would review PRs and create releases and stuff?

Hi @AlexeyRaga,
Just pinging to inform you that PR #593 was merged.

Farfetch continues to exist as normal, the development teams have been reduced, there have been a high number of layoffs, but the Kafka base is still in the projects.

The company was acquired by another Korean ecommerce, according to news.

Maybe it would make sense if we created a discord group or something like that so we can talk more about this.
