Complicated parallelization? That’s what partitions and consumers/consumer-groups are for!

Of course they are, but I’m not controlling the producer.

  • Producer doesn’t care how many partitions there are, it doesn’t even know about them, unless it wants to use its own partitioning algorithm. You can change the number of partitions on the topic after the fact.
