• Apache Kafka Quickstart

  • After downloading Apache Kafka. we can install, start ZooKeeper and Kafka Servers, create topics and do much more using the commands available in the Quickstart page.

• I have created 2 Spring Boot applications.
  • One for the Cab Driver application.
  • Another one for the User Application.
• I have used Gradle build tool to manage dependencies.
• Cab Driver application is the Producer to the Kafka topic.
• User application is the Consumer of the Kafka topic.
• Cab Driver application is connected to the Kafka topic and publishes the messages to that topic.
• User application is configured to listen to that topic and consume the messages.
• Postman Collection available in the repository to trigger the Cab Driver API.
• 💁Note: For configuration related to Kafka topics etc., please refer the code.

• Start Zookeeper Server - .\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat config\zookeeper.properties
• Start Kafka Server - .\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat config\server.properties
• Create a Kafka topic - .\bin\windows\kafka-topics.bat --create --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
• Describe a Kafka topic - .\bin\windows\kafka-topics.bat --describe --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
• Write events to Kafka topic - .\bin\windows\kafka-console-producer.bat --topic quickstart-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
