Super Probugr

Goals of Super Probugr

Create a simple UI for interfacing with Kafka and gRPC using protobufs. This is a tool, not an example of a perfect js app.

Workflow

A user should be able to...

1. Upload their proto files.
2. From a JSON body, send messages to Kafka or call gRPC service methods.
3. Be cool.

Usage

To run with host networking docker run -d --network host mickoallen/super-probugr:latest. This is recommended since it makes calling back to your local gRPC services and Kafka broker simpler, but only works in environments where host networking is supported, such as linux.

To run without host networking docker run -d -p 5052:5052 mickoallen/super-probugr:latest.

Upload proto files:

Connect to gRPC server:

Send messages to kafka:

• Occasional race conditions trying to start the container.
• Enum values in the JSON must be represented by their index as defined in the proto, no the associating value.
