kafka-workshop

Installation Options:

Take a look at install directory for installation options.

Local setup (recommended)

1. Use docker-compose for a quick and easy single-node-broker setup

   • The above will provide access to kafka broker via localhost:9093 from local machine.
   • see docker-compose inside install directoy.

2. Optionally, install kafka locally, so you can use its Command-Line Interface.

   • See local directory inside install folder
   • If you don't have docker, then you'll also have the option to run kafka server directly.

Don't worry about Kubernetes for now. It is mainly for running demos.
