It would be better if you could describe more information about your situation. – troy Apr 14 '20 at 03:41

Spring Integration - Extends the Spring programming model to support the well-known Enterprise Integration Patterns.
Spring Integration Kafka - is an extension module to the Spring Integration Project.
Spring Integration Kafka is now based on the Spring for Apache Kafka project.
The Spring for Apache Kafka (spring-kafka) project applies core Spring concepts to the development of Kafka-based messaging solutions.
According to your requirements, if you are developing an application without using Spring Integration, then you need to use the Spring for Apache Kafka (spring-kafka) project or Spring Cloud Stream (Kafka).
Spring-Cloud-Stream - is a framework built upon Spring Boot for building message-driven microservices.

Okay, but I am still confused as to which one to pick, spring kafka or spring integration kafka. Are there any specific advantages that spring integration has over spring kafka? – Abhi Jain Apr 13 '20 at 10:45

Spring Integration Kafka has the advantage of providing: Outbound Channel Adapter and Message-Driven Channel Adapter to use them in Spring Integration project. – V. Mokrecov Apr 13 '20 at 11:01

With Spring Integration for Apache Kafka version 3.3, you have channels backed by Kafka topics. https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/docs/2.5.3.RELEASE/reference/html/#si-channels – Kamal Maheshwari Jul 15 '20 at 19:12
