Use when you need to design or implement Kafka messaging in Spring Boot — including topic design, producer/consumer implementation, JSON serialization with Boot factory customizers, Testcontainers `@ServiceConnection` integration tests, retries and dead-letter topics, idempotency, and error handling. This should trigger for requests such as Add Kafka in Spring Boot; Review Spring Kafka consumers; Improve retries and DLT in Spring Kafka. Part of cursor-rules-java project

Apply Spring Kafka guidance with concrete examples for design, implementation, and error handling.
Compile before messaging refactors; verify after changes.
./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvementsRead references/314-frameworks-spring-kafka.md and inspect current messaging setup before proposing changes.
Identify reliability and throughput goals and define the minimum safe set of changes.
Implement/refactor Spring Kafka configuration, producer/consumer logic, and failure handling.
Execute build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and follow-up actions.
For detailed guidance, examples, and constraints, see references/314-frameworks-spring-kafka.md.
