Kafka Consumer using Spring Boot

The purpose of this repo is to help me learn how to create and use a simple Kafka Consumer. Currently only supported as a single Consumer. I will look into using this in a Consumer Group in the future.

Running Consumer

These instructions assume ~/kafka

Start Zookeeper

• ~/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh ~/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties

Start Kafka

• ~/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh ~/kafka/config/server.properties

Create Kafka Topic

Person_Topic will be used for this example.

• ~/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic Person_Topic

Run Spring Boot Consumer locally

• cd kafka-consumer
mvn spring-boot:run

Run Spring Boot Producer locally

• Link to kafka-producer repo
• cd kafka-producer
mvn spring-boot:run
• POST data locally through REST endpoint.
