Spring for Apache Kafka
Details
The Spring for Apache Kafka (spring-kafka) project applies core Spring concepts to the development of Kafka-based messaging solutions. It provides a "template" as a high-level abstraction for sending messages. It also provides support for Message-driven POJOs with @KafkaListener annotations and a "listener container". Those familiar with Spring will see similarities to the JMS support in the Spring Framework and RabbitMQ support in Spring AMQP.
It also provides a convenient embedded Kafka broker, which is generally used for automated integration test cases.
In this talk we will go over the basics of the framework, building a Spring Boot application for sending to and receiving from a Kafka broker. If time permits we will take a look at how the Spring Integration extension project (spring-integration-kafka) builds on top of spring-kafka, providing inbound and outbound channel adapters, and also take a brief look at Spring Cloud Stream and its Apache Kafka binder.
