Using Apache Kafka with Spring Boot

Date: 2020-12-16

This tutorial demonstrates integrating Apache Kafka with a Spring Boot application. It assumes basic familiarity with Spring Boot and provides instructions for setting up Kafka using Docker. The tutorial details creating a Spring Boot project with necessary dependencies (including Lombok), configuring Kafka in application.yml, and building a producer and consumer to send and receive messages to/from a specified Kafka topic. A controller handles user input, sending it to the producer. The example uses KafkaTemplate for producing and @KafkaListener for consuming messages. The complete application, including project structure and code examples, is described step-by-step.
