Go

Before trying this sample, follow the Go setup instructions in the Managed Service for Apache Kafka quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the Managed Service for Apache Kafka Go API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Managed Service for Apache Kafka, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.
