Number of topics to which provider sends

[Victoria Zuberman <vi...@imperva.com>]

Hi,

Background: Java, Kafka 2.1.0

I have application that sends to two different topics.
In theory I can use the same provider.
Are there any advantages to having provider per topic?
I looked for best practices for this matter but didn’t find any...

Thanks,
Victoria

Hi Victoria,

The obvious advantage is that you could configure producers differently.

For example, one may be sending small messages as fast as possible, while
another producer may be utilising batching with large batch sizes and a
long linger to send larger amounts of data more efficiently, but slower.

So it really depends on how you intend to use the two topics.

Kind regards,
