There are different types of producers: car, bike, pedestrian. Each type can be customized in the config folder.
Available settings are:
producers: int # the number of producers per container
intervall: int # ms intervall in which new data should be produced
type: 'car' | 'bike' | 'pedestrian' # string representation of the type for this producer
speedPerTick: 0.8 # value that defines the movement in x and y direction per intervall
The docker-compose.yml defines which producers will be started.
Install docker and docker-compose.
Run docker compose build to build the docker containers ahead of running them.
Make sure the Kafka Cluster is up and running before starting the producers.
The producers can be started by running docker compose up if you want the log output in the current
terminal session or with docker compose up -d if you want to start it in the background.
By default, one instance of each type will be started.
This can be changed by running the docker compose up command with the scale option.
An example usage would be: docker compose up --scale car=2 --scale bike=3.
This example will start 2 car containers and 3 bike containers where each container itself starts
as many producers as configured in its config file.
In order to stop the containers, run docker compose down.
