feat(metering-kafka): Optional kafka transport integration for metering - #1831
Add optional Kafka transport for external_metering usage and error CloudEvents behind the metering-kafka feature using rdkafka. Balance checks stay on HTTP against metering_url. When kafka is configured, events are produced fire-and-forget to a single topic, with SASL SCRAM-SHA-512 and optional TLS. HTTP remains the default path when kafka is omitted. Refactored event delivery behind a UsageEventSink so HTTP and Kafka share the same report path without blocking the response. Include example config, unit coverage, and an example-config parse test.
Default is still HTTP with no config change needed when kafka object field is not set
Balance checks stay HTTP on metering_url
With kafka: set in the yaml and a build that enables --features metering-kafka, events go to Kafka (fire-and-forget): acks=all, idempotent producer, SASL SCRAM-SHA-512, password from a file, optional TLS
HTTP and Kafka share one delivery path (UsageEventSink) so the response path isn’t blocked
Example config: examples/configs/external-metering-kafka.yaml
Unit tests: cargo test -p praxis-ai-filters --features metering-kafka -- metering
Integration or functional tests: cargo test -p praxis-tests-integration --features metering-kafka -- external_metering_kafka_balance_check_still_http
make lint
Manual validation by spinning up container on docker, mocking metering and backend services, and starting up the gateway with metering-kafka enabled.
Checklist

Summary
New Features
Added optional Kafka delivery for external metering usage and error events when Kafka support is enabled. HTTP remains the default, and balance checks continue to use HTTP.
Kafka configuration supports brokers, topics, TLS, and SCRAM-SHA-512 authentication, with password credentials provided through a file.
Added an example configuration for Kafka-based metering.
Documentation
Documented Kafka transport behavior and configuration options for external metering.

Walkthrough
The external metering filter now supports optional Kafka delivery for usage and error events. HTTP remains the default event transport, and balance checks continue to use HTTP. Kafka configuration is feature-gated and validated when the filter is constructed.
Adds the optional metering-kafka feature and Kafka configuration. Validation checks brokers, topic, TLS CA file, SASL settings, and file-backed password credentials. Tests cover feature gating and configuration validation.
HTTP and Kafka event sinks filters/src/metering/sink.rs, filters/src/metering/kafka.rs
Adds shared sink dispatch, HTTP event delivery, and a Kafka producer. Kafka sends are asynchronous, keyed by event ID, and flushed on teardown.
Filter sink selection and event reporting filters/src/metering/mod.rs
Constructs the configured sink and delegates serialized usage and error events to it. Balance checks remain HTTP.
Example and documentation docs/filters/external_metering.md, examples/README.md, examples/configs/external-metering-kafka.yaml, tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/external_metering.rs
Documents Kafka settings and adds an example configuration. Tests check that the example parses and exercise a request with the feature enabled.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue [#1638] has coding requirements that the reviewed head satisfies. ExternalMeteringConfig.kafka selects Kafka only when configured, while HTTP remains the default. Balance checks remain HTTP through metering_url. The Kafka producer uses acks=all and idempotence, supports optional TLS with a CA file, and uses SCRAM-SHA-512 with a file-backed password. Construction validates feature use, brokers, topic, credentials, and TLS CA settings. Delivery is asynchronous and counts enqueue, delivery, and canceled-delivery failures. Teardown flushes the producer. Unit tests cover configuration validation, and the example test covers configuration parsing and HTTP balance checks.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed manifests add the feature and its optional rdkafka dependency. The metering changes implement the requested configuration, shared HTTP/Kafka delivery path, Kafka delivery behavior, and unchanged HTTP balance checks. Tests, documentation, and the example configuration support issue [#1638]. No unrelated behavior is demonstrated. Cargo.lock was intentionally excluded and was not used as evidence.

Review comments at @Cargo.toml:
- Line 61: Update the rdkafka dependency’s feature list to enable `ssl`
alongside `cmake-build` and `tokio`, preserving `default-features = false`; do
not enable `ssl-vendored`.
Review comments at @examples/configs/external-metering-kafka.yaml:
- Line 41: Update the example header to state that the configuration with
kafka.tls.enabled disabled is for loopback testing only. For remote brokers,
direct operators to enable kafka.tls.enabled and configure kafka.tls.ca_file
with the PEM CA bundle path; retain the existing guidance to replace
environment-specific SASL password file values.
Review comments at @filters/src/metering/config.rs:
- Line 195: Replace the String field `mechanism` in the Kafka configuration with
a single-variant Serde enum that accepts only `SCRAM-SHA-512`, so unsupported
values fail during deserialization. Remove the redundant comparison in
`validate_kafka_config` and have `kafka.rs` obtain the configured SASL mechanism
through a method on the enum.
- Around line 176-180: Replace the `enabled` and `ca_file` fields with a TLS
enum that represents `Disabled` or `Enabled { ca_file }`, making an enabled
configuration without a CA file unrepresentable. Remove the now-redundant checks
in `validate_kafka_config` and `KafkaUsageEventSink::new`, and update the YAML
examples in the external metering documentation and example config to match the
new shape.
- Line 132: Update the Kafka configuration comments: change “events are via
POST” to “events are sent via POST,” and remove the claim that SASL defaults
when TLS is disabled, since SASL is required and its mechanism, username, and
password are always validated.
Review comments at @filters/src/metering/kafka.rs:
- Around line 104-110: Update KafkaUsageEventSink::drop to run the synchronous
producer flush via Tokio’s blocking thread pool when a runtime is available,
using a cloned producer handle; flush inline when no runtime is available, and
preserve the existing warning on flush failure.
- Around line 31-32: Update the producer configuration associated with the
timeout field to set librdkafka’s message.timeout.ms from timeout, so delivery
is bounded by the configured duration; correct the timeout field comment to
describe the resulting delivery timeout rather than only waiting for produce
acknowledgement.
Review comments at @filters/src/metering/mod.rs:
- Line 417: Remove the incomplete comment beginning “Resolve the callout
credential” before the serialization code, leaving the serialization and later
authentication documentation unchanged.
Review comments at @filters/src/metering/sink.rs:
- Around line 37-51: Update report to dispatch directly on UsageEventSink: call
HttpUsageEventSink::deliver with required HeaderMap headers and call the Kafka
sink with the request ID. Make the HTTP deliver method pub(super) and accept
HeaderMap directly, then remove the shared UsageEventSink::deliver wrapper and
its optional-header and unused-event-ID handling.
Review comments at @filters/src/metering/tests.rs:
- Around line 546-550: Update the CA-file fixture in the test around
KafkaUsageEventSink::new to write a valid self-signed CA certificate generated
with the existing rcgen test dependency instead of placeholder PEM text.
Review comments at @tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/external_metering.rs:
- Around line 32-38: Expose the metering-kafka feature to the integration crate,
then add a feature-gated functional test alongside
external_metering_kafka_config_parses that supplies the password file, starts
the proxy with external-metering-kafka.yaml, and verifies the HTTP balance-check
path. Do not require a Kafka broker or assert on a Kafka topic.

filters/src/metering/kafka.rs:89-91 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Enqueue the Kafka record before spawning the delivery task.
send is called only after the spawned task is polled. Its finite timeout limits each task's retry duration when the producer queue is full, but it does not cap the number of waiting tasks. message.timeout.ms is a separate timeout that applies after the record is queued.
During runtime teardown, Drop::flush can run before these tasks enqueue their records. A detached task can then be canceled before enqueueing, which can lose the event. Call send_result before spawning, count immediate queue errors, and spawn only to await an accepted delivery future.

Review comments at @filters/src/metering/kafka.rs:
- Around line 113-114: Update the flush-path selection around
Handle::try_current so it checks the Tokio runtime flavor: call block_in_place
only on a multithread runtime and flush directly on a current-thread runtime,
preserving the existing behavior when no runtime is active.
Review comments at @tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/external_metering.rs:
- Around line 85-88: Update the assertion around parse_status so it verifies a
successful HTTP balance check rather than only a 200 response, which fail_open
can allow even when the check fails. Capture and assert the balance request, or
make the metering mock return hasAccess: false and assert the resulting 429
response.
- Around line 75-76: Add a separate feature-gated, ignored integration test
alongside the existing external metering test that consumes the configured Kafka
topic and asserts receipt of a usage or error CloudEvent. Keep the existing HTTP
balance-check test hermetic and unchanged.
