We are using https://github.com/radekg/node-kafka, occasionally pushing about 2500 messages, 3.5K each / second. No issues so far. Different story with consumers. They are stable but under heavy load we experienced CPU problems. I am the maintainer of that fork. The fork comes with ZK integration. Another kafka module is this one: https://github.com/dannycoates/franz-kafka.
