Integrating kafka with channels

[aryaniyaps]

I've done a detailed write-up on kafka-integration with channels
https://gist.github.com/aryan340/da071d027050cfe0a03df3b500f2f44b

this addresses #1637 and hopefully solves it.

Hi @CosmicReindeer — that's a lovely write-up: really nice!

I'd happily accept a link to it from the community page of the docs if you'd like to make that PR.

Done! (PR is here)

The Gist link is now dead. Is there an updated reference to this write-up anywhere?
