Pleased to share the first article in my new series, "Getting Started with Real-Time Streaming in Kotlin."
This initial post, "Kafka Clients with JSON - Producing and Consuming Order Events," dives into the fundamentals:
• Setting up a Kotlin project for Kafka.
• Handling JSON data with custom serializers.
• Building basic producer and consumer logic.
• Using Factor House Local and Kpow for a local Kafka dev environment.
Future posts will cover Avro (de)serialization, Kafka Streams, and Apache Flink.
