Research direction

Find where vroom pins segmentio/kafka-go in its Go dependency files and read the Kafka client setup. Update the dependency to version 0.4.48, then run the relevant Go checks to confirm the project builds with the newer library and supports the requested Kafka 4.0 API.

Description

Hi, I’m currently in the process of migrating a self-hosted Sentry setup to kubernetes with external components, moving components out of a single Docker Compose file and into separate, independent services. One of these services is Kafka. The version of the segmentio/kafka-go library currently in use (0.4.38) does not support the new Kafka 4.0 API. Could you please update to version 0.4.48, which includes this support?
