First version

This project was originally written with the plugin architecture in mind, but after a lot of back and forth, the company decided to choose another path. So, this plugin has become an extension to k6, which can be built using the xk6 tool. Instead of the previous method (plugin), where you had a Shared Object (.so) that was loaded on runtime, you will now have a custom-built k6 binary that has one or more extensions inside.

This version includes all the necessary basics you might need to load test Apache Kafka. The extension has a producer and a consumer. The JSON and Avro message formats are supported. For more information, please refer to the README.
