Project Specifications

Build a small application writing records to Kafka with a KafkaProducer. Use the Confluent Cloud service to host the Environment and Cluster.

Tech Notes

• The configuration files are not included in the Git repository. The Kafka tutorial referenced in the acknowledgements provides guidance on how to set up the configuration files.

• The tutorial was out of date slightly when I created this application. There must be a "settings.gradle" file in the application (typically at the root directory) for newer versions of Gradle in order to build the application. For single project builds the file may be empty.

• JAVA - Mozilla developer guide for HTML5.
