Add Kafka as a pre-configured container

Open vittoriabitton opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hello!

In addition to MySQL, Postgres and Redis, do you guys pretend to add Kafka as pre-configured container?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi @vittoriabitton !

Adding Kafka is definitely on the radar, however it may be less trivial than the others to support. I’m trying to understand how to run a local instance of Kafka painlessly, possibly without having to spawn an additional container for Zookeeper.

I don't have much experience with Kafka myself, so any suggestion is welcome :)

@dallagi I would suggest trying https://vectorized.io/redpanda :)

This should be API compatible, yet much simpler to use, especially with docker.

Yeah, Kafka is a beast.

RedPanda is 100% compatible with Kafka's API but much simpler to deploy: https://hub.docker.com/r/redpandadata/redpanda

can't we just look into testcontainers-ruby or any of the other testcontainers having Kafka supported ?
