  • JR, quality Random Data from the Command line, part I
    8 projects | dev.to | 7 May 2023
    So, is JR yet another faking library written in Go? Yes and no. JR indeed implements most of the APIs in fakerjs and Go fake it, but it's also able to stream data directly to stdout, Kafka, Redis and more (Elastic and MongoDB coming). JR can talk directly to Confluent Schema Registry, manage json-schema and Avro schemas, easily maintain coherence and referential integrity. If you need more than what is OOTB in JR, you can also easily pipe your data streams to other cli tools like kcat thanks to its flexibility.
  • Testing a Kafka consumer with Avro schema messages in your Spring Boot application with Testcontainers
    3 projects | dev.to | 22 Feb 2022
    So that means we can configure the Kafka producer and consumer with an imaginary schema registry url, that only needs to start with “mock://” and you automatically get to work with the MockSchemaRegistryClient. This way you don't need to explicitly initiate the MockSchemaRegistryClient and configure everything accordingly. That also eradicates the need for the Confluent Schema Registry Container. Running the Kafka Testcontainer with the embedded Zookeeper, we no longer need an extra Zookeeper container and we are down to one Testcontainer for the messaging. This way I ended up with only two Testcontainers: Kafka and the database.
  • confluent Schema Registry and Rust
    13 projects | dev.to | 26 Jul 2021
    Confluent is a company founded by the creators of Apache Kafka. They are providing the Confluent Platform which consists of several components, all based on Kafka. The license for these components vary. The Schema Registry has the community-license, which basically means it's free to use as long as you don't offer the Schema Registry itself as a SaaS solution. The source code can be found on Github.
