Shared Protobuf schema for using protobuf with kafka

Kafka Project

Directories

• Producer
  • .NET project to produce "purchase events"
• Consumer
  • .NET project to consume "purchase events"
• Go Consumer
  • Golang project to consume "purchase events"
• Protobuf Models
  • Shared .proto files which specify the messages will be put onto the Event Stream

Using the Protobuf models

When building anything with the Kafka stream, a model must be created with a .proto specification file. Then, you can use the protobuf compiler to generate your model files.

We will validate in CI pipeline using buf to ensure that protobuf changes are reverse compatible, and thus we can deploy our services independently.
