Kafka Producer Batching : https://www.conduktor.io/kafka/kafka-producer-batching

A producer will have up to 5 requests in flight (controlled by the max.in.flight.requests.per.connection setting), meaning up to 5 message batches will be sent at the same time.

This smart batching allows Kafka to increase throughput while maintaining very low latency. Batches have a higher compression ratio so a better disk and networking efficiency. Batching is mainly controlled by two producer settings - linger.ms and batch.size.

Producer Batching and no message compression

By default, the messages are not compressed.

Info

The max size is represented by the setting “batch.size”. The default value of batch.size is 16 KB so,16Kb x 1024 bytes = 16384 bytes (binary and not decimal). We can increase to 32KB or 64KB, so it can help the increase the compression, throughput and efficiency of requests.

Note

Speed versus Compression : Consider testing snappy or lz4 for optimal speed / compression ratio.
