(Part 3/4) Confluent Cloud (Managed Kafka as a Service) - Create a Go client to consume messages

In this podcast episode, the host continues from the previous episodes in the Confluent Cloud series and focuses on consuming messages. The consumer code is reviewed, and the concept of group ID is explained. The process of initializing the consumer and subscribing to topics is demonstrated. The use of channels in Go for message consumption is explored. The host troubleshoots issues related to group ID and discusses the inconsistencies observed. The allocation of messages among multiple consumers with different group IDs is examined. The episode concludes with a summary of the learnings and an invitation to explore Snowpals' products and APIs.

Takeaways

  • Consuming messages in Confluent Cloud involves initializing the consumer and subscribing to topics.
  • The group ID determines which consumers belong to which group and affects work sharing and fault tolerance.
  • Messages can be consumed using channels in Go, allowing for continuous listening and processing.
  • Troubleshooting issues with group ID and understanding message allocation among multiple consumers is important.
  • Snowpal offers a range of products and APIs for software development and architecture.
