Kafka Producer Implementation

Purpose

Implement production-grade Kafka producers that reliably publish domain events with high performance, type safety, and comprehensive error handling. Covers msgspec serialization, confluent-kafka configuration, OpenTelemetry tracing, and anti-corruption layer patterns for translating domain models to message schemas.

When to Use This Skill

Use when building event publishers that send domain events to Kafka topics with "implement Kafka producer", "publish events to Kafka", "send order events", or "create event publisher".

Do NOT use for consuming events (use kafka-consumer-implementation), testing with testcontainers (use kafka-integration-testing), or designing schemas (use kafka-schema-management).

Quick Start

Create a high-performance Kafka producer in 3 steps:

1. Define message schema:

import msgspec
