Description
I am a newbie. I need to write a connector that a legacy system will call via http post. I am looking for some sample code I can start with. Basically I want to write something like a servlet. My servlet needs to do some business specific process of the posted data, then write to a Kafka topic

I looked at examples/clients/cloud/rest-proxy. It is all docker based. Any idea how I find the connector source code installed in the containers?

Kind regards

Andy

Docker is an implementation detail. You should be able to use any HTTP client you are comfortable with and generate data to the REST Proxy API.

However, if you already are writing custom HTTP client code within this system, trying to put a Kafka client there instead would make more sense.
