KafkaPOC

Docker Compose

Use Docker Compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) to start a 3 nodes Kafka Cluster with 1 zookeeper and 1 kafka-ui.

• under the project folder, run docker-compose up -d to start the cluster. Without the -d flag, the containers will start in foreground(logs can be seen but will exit after closing the terminal).
• run docker-compose stop to stop the cluster but keep the containers.
• run docker-compose start to start the cluster again if already exists.
• run docker-compose down to stop the cluster and remove all containers, if you decide to delete the cluster.

localhost:8888 is the kafka-ui
