Details
From the project READMEQuarkus — Kafka messaging
Apply Quarkus Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.
Constraints
Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compileormvn compilebefore applying any change - SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verifyormvn clean verifyafter applying improvements - BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Add Kafka in Quarkus
- Review Quarkus Reactive Messaging consumers/producers
- Improve retries, dead-letter handling, or idempotency in Quarkus Kafka
- Configure Quarkus Reactive Messaging Kafka channels
- Add Quarkus Kafka failure strategy or DLQ handling
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/414-frameworks-quarkus-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify delivery semantics and resilience goals to define safe improvements.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement/refactor channels, serializers, and failure strategies in Reactive Messaging.
- Run verification and report results
Execute build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and follow-up actions.
