This is an example of using rust to build envoy access log server, convert protobuf messages to json format, send messages to kafka broker and read messages from kafka broker (pretty printed json).
Start kafka compatible broker redpanda in docker:
docker-compose up -d redpanda
Start als server:
cargo run --bin als-rs
Start kafka client:
cargo run --bin client -- --brokers localhost:9092 --group-id client2 --topics my-topic
Send RPC messages to the als server, and watch for the kafka client.
Optionally, install bloomrpc to sends gRPC messages to als-rs server without envoy server running for local testing only. Import proto messages into bloomrpc and you can test it without running envoy
