healthcheck-dotnet-kafka

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, error-prone work of configuring Kafka connectivity health checks for ASP.NET Core applications, ensuring microservices that rely on Kafka messaging only receive traffic when the broker is reachable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Readiness Probe Registration: Registers a Kafka broker connectivity health check via the standard AddKafka() extension method, aligned with .NET health check conventions.
• Configuration-Driven Setup: Reads Kafka bootstrap server addresses from application configuration, avoiding hardcoded connection strings.
• Use Case: Use this Skill when building a .NET microservice that produces or consumes Kafka messages, to validate Kafka availability as part of your service's readiness checks.

Quick Start

Use the healthcheck-dotnet-kafka skill to add a Kafka readiness health check to your .NET project's health check pipeline.
