Nathan, as I know there are no out of box extensions or a policies for Apache Kafka in Apigee:

https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/reference/extensions/reference-overview-extensions

https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/reference/policies/reference-overview-policy

However, we could use Apache Kafka Node.js module and implement a Kafka publisher in Apigee using an Apigee Hosted Target:

Apache Kafka Node.js module:

Apigee Hosted Targets:
