In this post I will cover the steps to run Kafka locally on your development machine using Kubernetes. Usually I go with docker-compose for that as it is simpler to get it going but due to the omnipresence of Kubernetes these days in companies I decided to also port my local Confluent Kafka setup to run on Kubernetes for practicing and getting closer to production environments where my application will most likely also run on Kubernetes.
In the past couple of days I came up with two local setups running Kafka, Schema-registry and Zookeeper on local development machine with Kubernetes using Kind, in this first post I will cover a setup using Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims and in the next one I will cover using Storage classes.
