Quarkus - Kafka Serialization and Deserialization Demo

This repository contains three variants of the same system:

1. A variant using JSON to encode the Kafka records
2. A variant using Avro to encode the Kafka records
3. A variant using a custom (and dumb) protocol to encode the Kafka records

The system

The system is composed of two applications:

1. A publisher writing Heroes into the heroes Kafka topic.
2. A consumer consuming these Heroes and sending them to a web page.

Building

Run mvn install from the root.

Running the demo

Select a variant and open two terminals. In the first one, go to the publisher module of the variant and run mvn quarkus:dev. In the second one, go to the consumer module of the variant and run mvn quarkus:dev.

For example, to run the Avro variant:

1. in the first terminal, run mvn quarkus:dev from the avro-serde/avro-serde-publisher.
2. in the second terminal, run mvn quarkus:dev from the avro-serde/avro-serde-consumer.
