Hi, I am using Playframework to build a web server that needs to handle very heavy traffic. And it has a Kafka Producer sending messages to Kafka brokers.
Currently I am using the synchronized Kafka producer API and seems like it's affecting the performance of the web server. I am considering switching to async Producer API but not sure how reliable it is(I heard it might loss message). Are there any other options to minimize the Producer's affect to the server. Thanks, Haojin
