"Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.
On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in their hands. For hardware, you can post a video or detailed article. For books, a sample chapter is ok.
Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead. "
Related, I was recently in the depths of understanding Kafka from the consumer side, specifically a very busy topic with many partitions. Some blog posts I enjoyed:
If you're using Apache Kafka or similar I'd love to understand how you're using it and which problems and annoyances you're running into. Please shoot me a mail at cohen1@gmail.com if you're up for a brief Zoom call or email exchange.
I'm doing customer/product research on Apache Kafka and similar systems to inform a software project I'm working on.
So this is not a tutorial, but it can significantly help anyone doing his first Apache Kafka steps. I'm creating a desktop visualization tool that facilitates you to visualize what's in your topics and clusters without knowing about the very specifics of Apache Kafka.

You can try it out here https://kafkaide.com.
We also have a learning hub with articles like https://kafkaide.com/learn/consume-kafka-topic, which deep dives into many different ways to read data from Apache Kafka.
Please let me know if you think it is useful. I will try to answer everything I can :-)
