Kafka 1XX Demos

This repository contains a series of simple Kafka demonstrations. Start here and follow the steps using the Kafka 101 project files:

$ make compose-build
$ make compose-up

Navigate a browser to http://localhost:8000. This is the Kafka Topics UI. Initially it will look pretty bare. Execute:

$ make compose-exec

This will drop you onto a container command-line. The container image provides all the dependencies you need. From here you can run a script to publish some weather stats to the kubertron.weather.inbound topic, and run a script to consume those stats.

$ python scripts/publish-weather.py

$ python scripts/consume-weather.py
