Has this project been discontinued?

It's not discontinued, no. However, as it says on the top of the README, it has always been a proof of concept extension that is not very actively maintained either... :disappointed:

This repo and other similar PoC extensions were created before k6 had support for event loops, so we couldn't nicely add support for messaging protocols like this one either in the k6 core or even in a polished extension. We've since added basic support for event loops in k6 v0.37.0 and we're slowly continuing to build on top of it (e.g. https://github.com/grafana/k6/issues/2544). We'll probably prioritize reworking and polishing similar extensions to this one in the relatively near future, though I have no idea exactly which ones and what the priorities will be :man_shrugging:

Even if we don't work on this ourselves, it can still be somewhat usable as it is or it can be forked and improved upon. I see there are already a few forks of the repo, and we'll probably accept quality PRs to merge changes back here :slightly_smiling_face:
