Hi, It is better NOT to share topics among applications. You may have a wrapper application reading from the queue/topic and routing it to the correct application, but it is simpler for each application to read from its own topic.

All could have several some message queue named like AppA MsgQueueA MsgQueueB AppB MsgQueueA MsgQueueB MsgQueueC AppC MsgQueueA MsgQueueB MsgQueueD I have very little exposure for Apache Kafka and even for message queue concepts. I just thinking to create topics for MsgQueueA, MsgQueueB and so on. But I am confused how to integrate AppA, AppB, AppC. Partition and Consumer group look like wrong choices for them. Also If separation of queue/topic for Apps is better idea instead of re-using them for different Apps for better debugging Like below AppA AppAMsgQueueA AppAMsgQueueB AppB AppBMsgQueueA AppBMsgQueueB AppBMsgQueueC AppC AppCMsgQueueA AppCMsgQueueB AppCMsgQueueD -- Kuldeep Kamboj Information transmitted by this e-mail is proprietary to Mphasis, its associated companies and/ or its customers and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
