Building the application locally

Once you installed the prerequisites and cloned the repository, run the following commands in your project directory:

Build a docker container with the app:

./mvnw clean install -Pprod

Start the app with Kafka clusters:

docker-compose -f ./documentation/compose/kafka-ui.yaml up -d

To see the app, navigate to http://localhost:8080.

If you want to start only kafka clusters (to run the app via spring-boot:run):

docker-compose -f ./documentation/compose/kafka-clusters-only.yaml up -d

Then, start the app.

Building only the API

To build only the kafka-ui-api you can use this command:

./mvnw -f kafka-ui-api/pom.xml clean install -Pprod -DskipUIBuild=true

Where to go next

In the next section, you'll learn how to run the application.
