 Scala wrapper for [kafka-clients v3.4.0](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.kafka/kafka-clients/3.4.0)
 
+## Motivation
+
+Kafka provides an official Java client out of the box, which could be used from
+Scala code without any additional modifications.
+
+The main disadvantage of using an official client directly is that it implies
+a very specific threading model to the application. I.e. the consumer is not
+thread safe and also expects a rebalance listener to do the operations in the
+same thread.
+
+This makes wrapping a client with [Cats Effect](https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/)
+classes a bit more complicated than just calling `IO { consumer.poll() }` unless
+this is the only call, which is expected to be used.
+
+Skafka does exactly that: a very thin wrapper over official Kafka client to
+provide a ready-made Cats Effect API and handle some corner cases concerning
+[ConsumerRebalanceListener](https://kafka.apache.org/34/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/ConsumerRebalanceListener.html) calls.
+
+Comparing to more full-featured libraries such as
+[FS2 Kafka](https://fd4s.github.io/fs2-kafka), it might be a little bit more
+reliable, because there is little code/logic to do hide the accidenital bugs in.
+
+To summarize:
+1. If it suits your goals (i.e. you only ever need to do `consumer.poll()`
+without acting on rebalance etc.) then using an official Kafka client directly,
+optionally, wrapping all the calls with `cats.effect.IO` is a totally fine idea.
+2. If more complicated integration to Cats Effect is required, i.e.
+_ConsumerRebalanceListener_ is going to be used then consider using _Skafka_.
+3. If streaming with [FS2](https://fs2.io) is required or any other features
+the library provides then _FS2 Kafka_ could be a good choice. Note, that it is
+less trivial then _Skafka_ and may contain more bugs on top of the official
+Kafka client.
+
 ## Key features
 
 1. It provides null-less Scala apis for [Producer](skafka/src/main/scala/com/evolutiongaming/skafka/producer/Producer.scala) & [Consumer](skafka/src/main/scala/com/evolutiongaming/skafka/consumer/Consumer.scala)

+## Notes
+
+While _Skafka_ provides an ability to use `ConsumerRebalanceListener`
+functionality, not all of the method calls are supported.

+See the following PRs for more details:

+
+To our latest knowledge neither `FS2 Kafka` supports all of the
+methods / functionality.
