- Run
npm run start:kafka
to set up and run the Kafka server
You're done! This script will pull down Kafka utility scripts to use in these bash wrapper scripts (and for your own use if you want to talk to Kafka directly), and download the apache/kafka Docker image and start it. If you run this again, it won't re-download the kafka scripts unless their directory was deleted, it will just run the rest.
Currently, this runs Kafka 3.8.0. See the constants.sh script for the configuration variables.
Run npm run stop:kafka
stop the Kafka server.
