-This library leverages the work and concepts from two popular Apache Kafka JavaScript clients: [node-rdkafka](https://github.com/Blizzard/node-rdkafka) and [KafkaJS](https://github.com/tulios/kafkajs). The core is heavily based on the node-rdkafka library, which uses our own [librdkafka](https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka/tree/v2.3.0) library for core client functionality. However, we leverage a promisified API and a more idiomatic interface, similar to the one in KafkaJS, making it easy for developers to migrate and adopt this client depending on the patterns and interface they prefer.
-__This library currently uses `librdkafka` based off of the master branch.__
+Features:
 
-## This library is currently in early access and not meant for production use
+- **High performance** - confluent-kafka-javascript is a lightweight wrapper around
+[librdkafka](https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka), a finely tuned C
+client.
 
-**This library is in active development, pre-1.0.0, and it is likely to have many breaking changes.**
+- **Reliability** - There are a lot of details to get right when writing an Apache Kafka
+client. We get them right in one place (librdkafka) and leverage this work
+across all of our clients.
 
-For this early-access release, we aim to get feedback from JavaScript developers within the Apache Kafka community to help meet your needs. Some areas of feedback we are looking for include:
-- Usability of the API compared to other clients
-- Migration experience from the node-rdkafka and KafkaJs
-- Overall quality and reliability
+- **Supported** - Commercial support is offered by [Confluent](https://confluent.io/).
 
-We invite you to raise issues to highlight any feedback you may have.
+- **Future proof** - Confluent, founded by the
+creators of Kafka, is building a [streaming platform](https://www.confluent.io/product/)
+with Apache Kafka at its core. It's high priority for us that client features keep
+pace with core Apache Kafka and components of the [Confluent Platform](https://www.confluent.io/product/).
 
-Within the early-access, only **basic produce and consume functionality** as well as the ability to **create and delete topics** are supported. All other admin client functionality is coming in future releases. See [INTRODUCTION.md](INTRODUCTION.md) for more details on what is supported.

We're very happy to have been able to leverage the excellent work of the many authors of these libraries!
 
-To use **Schema Registry**, use the existing [kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry](https://github.com/kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry) library that is compatible with this library. For a simple schema registry example, see [sr.js](https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-javascript/blob/dev_early_access_development_branch/examples/kafkajs/sr.js). **DISCLAIMER:** Although it is compatible with **confluent-kafka-javascript**, Confluent does not own or maintain kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry, and the use and functionality of the library should be considered "as is".

 ## Requirements
 
-The following configurations are supported for this early access preview:
+The following configurations are supported:
 
 * Any supported version of Node.js (The two LTS versions, 18 and 20, and the latest versions, 21 and 22).
 * Linux (x64 and arm64) - both glibc and musl/alpine.
 * macOS - arm64/m1.
-* Windows - x64 (experimentally available in EA).
+* Windows - x64.
 
 Installation on any of these platforms is meant to be seamless, without any C/C++ compilation required.
 
 In case your system configuration is not within the supported ones, [a supported version of Python](https://devguide.python.org/versions/) must be available on the system for the installation process. [This is required for the `node-gyp` build tool.](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp?tab=readme-ov-file#configuring-python-dependency).
