The Alpakka project is an open source initiative to implement stream-aware and reactive integration pipelines for Java and Scala. It is built on top of Akka Streams and has been designed from the ground up to understand streaming natively and provide a DSL for reactive and stream-oriented programming, with built-in support for backpressure. Akka Streams is a Reactive Stream and JDK 9+ java.util.concurrent.Flow-compliant implementation and therefore fully interoperable with other implementations. As Kafka’s client protocol negotiates the version to use with the Kafka broker, you may use a Kafka client version that is different than the Kafka broker’s version.
