Hi Andrej,

Did you get a solution to this requirement.

I also want to trigger message on Existing Kafka from CAPM application.

Hi,

a little late to the game, but I created a CAP plugin cds-kafka that enables using Apache Kafka as a messaging service within CAP.
I also blogged about this in the SAP Community:

• Part 1: cds-kafka and its capabilities
• Part 2: cds-kafka in action

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Andrej,

At this time, we don't support Kafka in CAP out of the box. So you'll need to write an own client for that.

Maybe this can help you: https://www.confluent.io/blog/getting-started-with-kafkajs/

Hi David,

thank you for quick answer. Yes, I understood that it is not supported out of box, but are there some evident restrictions from CAP to implement own client?

I was wondering whether somebody from community has implemented it and has some example.

best regards,

Andrey

Hi Andrej,

No, there are no restrictions from CAP side, it's an open programming model where you can use any additional library you want (at your own risk, of course).
Best regards,
David
