zipkindemo

Demo of Zipkin with Spring Boot

This Demo consists of two applications:

1. zipkindemoapp, which is a simple Spring Boot App with a Rest endpoint at /demo that returns "hello". Zipkin and Sleuth dependencies are included to trace the requests.

2. zipkinserver, which collects the traces from zipkindemoapp and displays them in the Zipkin UI

Apache Kafka is used as the transport to send the traces from zipkindemoappto zipkinserver

The docker-compose.yml file contains the two applications, Kafka and Zookeeper.

It can be run by first building the application containers with mvn clean install and then running everything with docker-compose up

$DOCKER_HOST_IP should be set to the ip of your docker machine if you are using Windows or Mac, or to the host ip on Linux.

zikpkinserver is configured to use Cassandra (version 3) as a backend when using Docker
