What is RSKafka?
It aims to be a minimal Kafka implementation for simple workloads that wish to use Kafka as a distributed write-ahead log. It is not a general-purpose Kafka implementation, instead, it is heavily optimised for simplicity, both in terms of implementation and its emergent operational characteristics.
RSKafka is a tool in the Background Jobs category of a tech stack.

RSKafka Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to RSKafka?
Kafka Manager
This interface makes it easier to identify topics which are unevenly distributed across the cluster or have partition leaders unevenly distributed across the cluster. It supports management of multiple clusters, preferred replica election, replica re-assignment, and topic creation. It is also great for getting a quick bird’s eye view of the cluster.
Kafka REST
It provides a RESTful interface to a Kafka cluster. It makes it easy to produce and consume messages, view the state of the cluster, and perform administrative actions without using the native Kafka protocol or clients. Examples of use cases include reporting data to Kafka from any frontend app built in any language, ingesting messages into a stream processing framework that doesn't yet support Kafka, and scripting administrative actions.
rdkafka
This gem is a modern Kafka client library for Ruby based on librdkafka. It wraps the production-ready C client using the ffi gem and targets Kafka 1.0+ and Ruby 2.3+.
