In this office hours, I joined Nicole van der Hoeven and Paul Balogh to talk about new features in k6 v0.40.0, event-driven architectures and event-sourcing, Apache Kafka and the xk6-kafka extension.

I continued by presenting xk6-kafka and an example JSON script, which I explained line by line and then ran it using a custom binary built using xk6 with the xk6-kafka extension. I explained the end results and how they relate with what we have in the script.

I’d be happy to see your contribution, and feedback. 🙏
