Spring Kafka Library

This project is a demonstration of a library system utilizing Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, and Docker. It includes two microservices: library-producer and library-consumer, which interact via Kafka for asynchronous communication.

Features

• Kafka integration for messaging between services.
• Docker Compose setup for local development and production environments.
• PostgreSQL database integration, using migrations, stored procedures for a business logic.

Project Structure

• library-producer: Microservice responsible for sending messages to Kafka.
• library-consumer: Microservice that consumes Kafka messages and processes them.

Docker Compose Files

There are two Docker Compose files in the project:

1. docker-compose.yaml: For production-like environments.
2. docker-compose-local-development.yaml: For local development purposes.

Running the Project

To start the services with Docker Compose, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Valentine-456/spring-kafka-library.git
   cd spring-kafka-library
   docker-compose up

Note for Production Docker-Compose File:

In the production Docker Compose setup, it's possible to access and manage the Kafka cluster using additional UI tools such as Kafka-UI (included in the setup) or Confluent Control Center. These tools allow you to monitor Kafka topics, partitions, and brokers, helping with troubleshooting, performance optimization, and easier visualization of your Kafka environment.

To access the Kafka-UI dashboard, open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:9000

This will give you a user-friendly interface to monitor and interact with your Kafka cluster.
