## <a name="contributing"></a> Contributing

KafkaJS is an open-source project where development takes place in the open on GitHub. Although the project is maintained by a small group of dedicated volunteers, we are grateful to the community for bug fixes, feature development and other contributions.

See [Developing KafkaJS](https://kafka.js.org/docs/contribution-guide) for information on how to run and develop KafkaJS.

### <a name="help-wanted"></a> Help wanted 🤝

We welcome contributions to KafkaJS, but we also want to see a thriving third-party ecosystem. If you would like to create an open-source project that builds on top of KafkaJS, [please get in touch](https://join.slack.com/t/kafkajs/shared_invite/zt-1ezd5395v-SOpTqYoYfRCyPKOkUggK0A) and we'd be happy to provide feedback and support.

Here are some projects that we would like to build, but haven't yet been able to prioritize:

* [Dead Letter Queue](https://eng.uber.com/reliable-reprocessing/) - Automatically reprocess messages
* ✅ [Schema Registry](https://www.confluent.io/confluent-schema-registry/) - **[Now available!](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry)** thanks to [@erikengervall](https://github.com/erikengervall)
* [Metrics](https://prometheus.io/) - Integrate with the [instrumentation events](https://kafka.js.org/docs/instrumentation-events) to expose commonly used metrics
