kafka-connect-datagen VS Docker Compose

The first part will keep things relatively simple - it's all about get started easily. I will be using the Kafka Connect Datagen source connector to pump data some sample data into MSK topic and then use the AWS DynamoDB sink connector to persist that data in a DynamoDB table.

For the remaining scenarios, we will use a producer component to generate records. The Kafka Connect Datagen connector is our friend. It is meant for generating mock data for testing, so let’s put it to good use!

Neither kafka-connect-datagen nor voluble offer the ability to generate headers, unfortunately. It's a cool idea though.

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sudo sh get-docker.sh # Install docker compose sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # Apply executable permissions to the binary sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # Run Project docker-compose up -d

Docker,

This foundation now opens the door to even more powerful concepts. You can explore more advanced concepts such as container networking, streamlining the management of complex applications with Docker Compose, and how to make your application data persistent using volumes.

In many projects that are containerized, especially in cases where development is also done locally with docker-compose, teams often have two Dockerfiles, 1 for Development, the other for Production. If you happen to have multiple environments like pre-prod, staging and so on, some teams could have different Dockerfiles for these environments.

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

You can also use Docker Compose to deploy the cluster, without having to write all the previous commands.

[ec2-user]$ sudo yum update -y [ec2-user]$ sudo yum install -y docker [ec2-user]$ sudo service docker start [ec2-user]$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose [ec2-user]$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose [ec2-user]$ docker --version Docker version 20.10.23, build 7155243 [ec2-user]$ docker-compose --version Docker Compose version v2.18.1
