Apache Kafka - 2022 Edition [.NET 6 Consumer and Producer, Docker containerized Kafka services]

#kafka #dotnet #csharp

I have done a couple of videos in 2018 for Kafka, but since then there have been a lot of improvements and changes in the Kafka echo system. And same is true for the Kafka client NuGet package.

Hence, I am creating a new series on Kafka with .NET 6 application, starting from explaining the basics of Kafka, to busing a distributed Microservices application using Kafka.

In this video, I will cover the basics of Kafka and a simple example of Producer and Consumer for Kafka topics.

The command used in the video to download the docker-compose file for Kafka and then start containers:

1. curl --silent --output docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confluentinc/cp-all-in-one/6.1.1-post/cp-all-in-one/docker-compose.yml

2. docker-compose up -d

Stay tuned for the next week's video, as I will cover building a real-life application using Kafka and ASP.NET 6.
