Kafka Processor Template

Template for Kafka Streams Processor project @okp4.

Purpose

TBD

Implementation

Implementation mainly relies on Kafka Streams API, library to create event-stream applications with the following features:

• no external dependency other than Kafka itself,
• simple and light library,
• fault-tolerant and scalable.

Moreover, this implementation:

• uses Kotkin as primary coding language,
• is as much as possible, lean, i.e. tries to minimize the dependencies to 3rd party libraries and the resulting package footprint.

Build

This project targets the JVM 11+, so be sure to have it available in your environment.

This project relies on the Gradle build system.

If you are on windows then open a command line, go into the root directory and run:

.\gradlew build

If you are on linux/mac then open a terminal, go into the root directory and run:

./gradlew build

This command line produces 2 JAR files:

• a regular JAR: kafka-processor-X.Y.jar
• a fat JAR: kafka-processor-X.Y-standalone.jar

This last one is the one to use as it contains all the dependencies in it.
