title: Spring Cloud Stream Reactive - which kafka-binder is appropriate in case of reactive stream pipeline?
body: <p>We are using <strong>reactive spring cloud stream</strong> with the Kafka. Any suggestions on using the right binder? which one is most suitable for the reactive pipeline?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka</li>
  <li>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka-streams</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Obviously, we would love and wish if we get <strong>reactive-kafka-binder</strong>. Since all our apps end-to-end (Source, Processor and Sink) are built on reactive stream pipeline. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Reactive kafka</strong> will be the best suitable, since we are using entire pipeline as a reactive. To make the end-to-end pipeline reactive.  Any plans of providing such reactive-kafka-binder in the spring?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>To make it simple, currently we are using the <strong>reactive spring cloud stream</strong> with the <strong>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka</strong> and <strong>not kafka-streams.</strong> Looking forward to your answers. Many thanks!</p>
