Spring Boot Kafka Example - The Practical Developer

Basic configuration

This sample application shows how to use basic Spring Boot configuration to set up a producer to a topic with multiple partitions and a consumer group with three different consumers.

The full explanation is on The Practical Developer website: Spring Boot and Kafka - Practical Configuration Examples.

Kafka Configuration Example

Multiple serialization / deserialization formats

To illustrate the different configuration options, this application deserializes Kafka messages in three different ways:

  • As a JSON to Java object.
  • As a simple String (plain JSON).
  • As a byte array.

Docker compose

This code includes a docker-compose.yml file so you can use Docker Compose to start up Kafka, no installation needed.
