This application is an adaptation of this blog: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-cloud-stream-kafka-avro-confluent

The application is adapted to using Spring Cloud Stream 3.0.2.RELEASE.

The components are using the functional model by providing Supplier (producer) and Consumer (StreamListener) beans.

2. Run the application.

3. Run this command: curl -X POST localhost:8080/employees/1001/Harry/Potter

4. Watch the console of the application to ensure that the message is logged.
