Greetings! In this blog post i'm going to explain how to integrate Kafka with Spring boot. We use Spring boot configuration to send Kafka message in String format and consume it. Let's begin. (complete example can be found here .) Starting up Kafka First of all we need to run Kafka cluster. For this i'm using landoop docker image . Here is the docker command to run landoop docker container. docker container run --rm -it \ -p 2181:2181 -p 3030:3030 -p 8081:8081 \ -p 8082:8082 -p 8083:8083 -p 9092:9092 \ -e ADV_HOST=127.0.0.1 \ landoop/fast-data-dev Generate the application I'm using Intellij idea IDE to generate the Spring boot application. I have selected web, lombok and kafka dependencies. Let's rename application.properties to application.yml to use yaml format. Here is my application.yml file configuration values. server: port: 9000 spring: kafka: producer: bootstrap-servers: localhost:9092 key-serializer: org.apache.kafka.
May all beings be happy, be well, be peaceful, and be free
