Apache Kafka examples

    All examples require:

    • A Kubernetes cluster with
      • Knative Eventing v0.9+
    • An Apache Kafka cluster

    If you want to run the Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes, the simplest option is to install it by using Strimzi.

    2. Install the Strimzi operator, like:

      1. curl -L "https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/releases/download/0.16.2/strimzi-cluster-operator-0.16.2.yaml" \
      2.   | sed 's/namespace: .*/namespace: kafka/' \
      3.   | kubectl -n kafka apply -f -

    This will install a small, non-production, cluster of Apache Kafka. To verify your installation, check if the pods for Strimzi are all up, in the kafka namespace:

    Installation script

    1. $ ./kafka_setup.sh
