Is it possible to set Delivery Time on kafka

I'm new to kafka. For example I post a message to topic via producer. All subscriber in that topic will get notified.

But I want to send delayed message based on scheduled time. I will post message with delivery time. And also i need to create multiple topics with different delivery time

Ex

> Topic: Topic_1, Message:"Good Morning", Delivery Time:9:00:00
> Topic: Topic_1, Message:"Good Afternoon", Delivery Time:13:00:00
> Topic: Topic_2, Message:"Good Morning", Delivery Time:9:30:00
> Topic: Topic_2, Message:"Good Afternoon", Delivery Time:13:30:00

Is it possible to do this? Or any other tools or software is available for my requirement? Or any other Technic/Method to do it via coding? i'm using php or Go Lang

Kafka has no features for this. You'd need to enqueue the records in some application of your own, e.g. cron + loop over a file with timestamps, then pop from the file, check the time, and send to a Kafka producer. Most Kafka clients have methods for creating topics via AdminClient API
