kafka_mailer
Use Apache Kafka as a delivery_method in rails.
Rails Setup
IMPORTANT: This is under development right now and is not yet ready for use in a production environment.
First add the gem to your development environment and run the +bundle+ command to install it.
gem "kafka_mailer"
Then set the delivery method in config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :kafka
Now your emails will be sent to a kafka message queue.
Hacking on this gem
Once you have the source, you must run the following:
bundle
bundle exec rake spec
TODO
Some items that will eventually need to be done:
- provide a config block that can specify the structure of the message being sent to kafka
