Racecar: a simple framework for Kafka consumers in Ruby

acecar is a friendly and easy-to-approach Kafka consumer framework. It allows you to write small applications that process messages stored in Kafka topics while optionally integrating with your Rails models.The framework is based on rdkafka-ruby, which, when used directly, can be a challenge: it's a flexible library with lots of knobs and options. Most users don't need that level of flexibility, though. Racecar provides a simple and intuitive way to build and configure Kafka consumers.NOTE: Racecar requires Kafka 0.10 or higher.
