Description

Looking for an alternative to logback-kafka-appender dependency.

The logback-kafka-appender has not seen a new release in over five years, with the current version being 0.2.0-RC2. Due to its dependency on Kafka components, the long-term lack of updates has led to numerous security vulnerabilities, and an immediate upgrade might pose compatibility issues. It is desirable to have an actively maintained version to replace this dependency and to refactor this functionality.
