Any API gateway solution which has plugin to output data into Kafka

Question

I need to ingest data into my application. There is a Kafka stream already build for data ingestion. One of the client's requirement needs an API interface for accepting the data. So I need an API management solution which provides API gateway functionality and is able to produce message on a Kafka topic.

I have analyzed Kong + Kong-upstream plugin. But looking for any other similar solution

You can check WSO2 Api Manager.

check this article for wso2 kafka integration. https://ei.docs.wso2.com/en/7.2.0/micro-integrator/references/connectors/kafka-connector/kafka-connector-producer-example/

Also you can write your custom mediator for WSO2.
