Kafka functions: user guide #3936

Description

@aliok

Document how to create, configure, and deploy a Kafka function. Should cover:

  • Creating a function with func create -l go -t kafka
  • Configuring Kafka connection (env vars: KAFKA_BROKERS, KAFKA_TOPICS, KAFKA_CONSUMER_GROUP)
  • Setting env vars via func.yaml (plain values, Secrets, ConfigMaps)
  • Handler signature and return value semantics (nil = commit, error = skip)
  • Optional lifecycle hooks (Start, Stop, Ready, Alive)
  • Health check endpoints
  • Deployment with min-scale: 1 requirement
  • Scaling considerations (no HTTP traffic, consumer must stay running)
