+Tiny Python script to send a message on a Kafka topic, because the command line tools couldn't accept as big a message as we needed.
+
+Setup:
+```
+uv venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip sync requirements.txt
+```
+
+Usage:
+```
+kafka-send.py topic path/to/message.json
+```
+
+If you want to use something other than a local Kafka server, add `-s server.host:9092`.
