Do I need to use Laravel Sanctum or Laravel Passport to communicate with Apache Kafka or there is no need
Hello everybody,
I have a project in which I separated the front-end (Vuejs) and the backend (Laravel API).
I will use Apache Kafka to get data from IoT devices then Laravel will use this data (Consume) to display analytics in real-time to the front-end.
I decided to not use microservices for many reasons (we're just 2 in the team without any experience in micro-services and we need to validate the business value first).
After this, I decided to use Laravel Sanctum (SPA authentication) to implement the authorization part, easy and perfect for my use case per the documentation but then I remembered that I also need Apache Kafka to communicate with Laravel API.
I have read the documentation for both the Laravel Sanctum and Laravel Passport and it said "Laravel Sanctum does not support OAuth2".
I'm confused here do I need to use Authorization for Apache Kafka for my Laravel API to consume data from it in the first place or not? and if yes do I need to use Laravel Passport?
I forget to mention that I decided to use another RDBMS(MySql) for tables after much deliberation and Apache Kafka for just the data coming from IoT.

Yes, I saw this article and it's the reason why I asked this question because it seems that using OAuth2 here is optional for more security (if you're consuming data from a system outside the Laravel API).
But it looks like because I'm using API to Produce/Consume then this step is necessary.
I will look for more details and probably just use Laravel Passport.
Thank you :)
