Description

The Kafka extension for Azure Functions enables you to detect and respond to real time messages streaming into Kafka topics or write to a Kafka topic through the output binding. You can now focus on your Azure Function’s logic without worrying about the event-sourcing pipeline or maintaining infra to host the extension. This extension is supported when hosting functions in the Premium plan, enabling it to elastically scale and trigger on Kafka messages.
