Building a Simple Stream Application
Develop a basic Spring Boot application that utilizes Kafka Streams to process and transform events in real-time.
Your First Stream App
Welcome! In this lesson, we'll build a basic Spring Boot application that uses Kafka Streams to process events in real-time.
Our goal is simple: read messages from one Kafka topic, transform them, and write the results to another topic.
Spring Boot Project Setup
To begin, create a new Spring Boot project using Spring Initializr (start.spring.io).
Make sure to include these dependencies:
- Spring Web (for a web context, though not strictly needed for streams)
- Spring for Apache Kafka
- Kafka Streams
