Seed Generator

This is an experiment in learning kafka 1.0.0

This app is a producer that posts random numbers to the seed topic on a configurable interval. Along with the random number, it posts a random UUID as the key which is propagated down all the way by every app.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

1. You would need an instance of kafka(1.1.0 and higher) running.
   Update bootstrap.servers in application.yml to point towards your kafka instance.
2. You would need java8 installed

Installing

1. ./gradlew bootRun would start your app.

2. You can also run the app through java -jar /build/libs/seedGenerator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The app runs indefinitely.
