How to Run?

1. Download and install Kafka either from Confluent or follow instructions from here first. I recommend Confluent as it combines all the servers into one package with additional tools. start kafka with the following command
2. Unzip the zip file and navigate to it
3. Start the zookeeper using following command

   <path-to-confluent>/bin/zookeeper-server-start <path-to-confluent>/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties
   

4. Start the kafka using the following command

   <path-to-confluent>/bin/kafka-server-start <path-to-confluent>/etc/kafka/server.properties
   
   

5. Clone this repository and open in IntelliJ or Eclipse as maven project and run SpringCloudStreamKafkaApplication class. This will bring up producer class.
