Show HN: Broker-less simulation and mocking for Kafka
- max23_ 7y agoDo check out author's other project, Kafdrop[0], a web UI for Kafka. [0] https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop
- djtango 7y agoI'm confused, does this have anything to do with the Clojure Kafka client also called Jackdaw by FundingCircle?
- ekoutanov 7y agoNo nothing to do with that. Just happen to have same names.
- math 7y agonice! related, we just added similar capability to librdkafka (the C client) to facilitate better integration testing. hopefully we will expose it in the bindings as well at some point.
- rad_gruchalski 7y ago> If only you could simulate the entire Kafka infrastructure in a JVM so that messages can be published and consumed without relying on Kafka... After all, you just want to know that your application components integrate correctly; you aren't trying to test Kafka. It depends on what one is trying to test. For simple connectivity, sure. If one wants to test more advanced features, this could be not enough. By the way, it’s possible to run entire cluster in tests. Here’s an (older) example: https://github.com/radekg/kafka-cluster-tools https://github.com/radekg/kafka-cluster-tools.
- fuball63 7y agoThis is pretty cool, testing with kafka is a painpoint. We have been using a fat container from spotify that has kafka and zookeeper with basic configuration out of the box.
