Note: You dont need to start or install zookeeper and kafka locally. Spin-up local dockers for kafka, zookeeper, kafka connect instead that are accessible locally. The landoop/fast-data-dev contains all the Kafka Components.

Run everyting in local

There are many ways to run kafka locally, I selected the Landoop approach.

• Runs all via docker compose.

• Includes Elastic Search, Postgres, and landoop/fast-data-dev (Kafka package).

• Additional plugins and drivers are passed via mapped volumes

git clone git@github.com:devops-ph/kafka-local.git
