Kafka Producer and Consumer in Go

This project demonstrates how to use confluent-kafka-go to produce and consume messages with Apache Kafka in Go.

Features

• Producer: Sends 1000 messages to a Kafka topic (test-topic).
• Consumer: Subscribes to the same topic and prints out all consumed messages.
• Delivery Reports: Prints delivery status for each produced message.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.18 or later
• Apache Kafka running and accessible at localhost:9092
• confluent-kafka-go library

How to Run

1. Start Kafka
   Make sure Kafka is running on your machine at localhost:9092.

2. Clone this repository and install dependencies

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   cd kafka
   go mod tidy
   

3. Run the program

go run main.go

You should see output indicating messages are being delivered and then consumed.

## Code Overview
- **Producer:**  
  Connects to Kafka and sends 1000 `"Hello from Go!"` messages to `test-topic`.
- **Consumer:**  
  Subscribes to `test-topic` and prints each message as it is consumed.

## Example Output

Delivered to [test-topic][0]@123 ... Consumed message: Hello from Go! from test-topic[0]@123 ...

## Notes

- The producer and consumer run sequentially in the same program for demonstration.
- In production, you would typically run them as separate services.
