About

This repo contains an example of how to use Benthos as an http -> Kafka server.

Warning: this application is not production ready.

The application exposes an endpoint that publishes a message to Kafka containing the payload of the incoming JWT Bearer token.

Usage

1. Spin up containers: $ docker-compose up

2. Start consuming messages: $ kcat -C -b localhost:29092 -t users. (Requires kcat).

3. Send requests:

curl -v --request POST \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:4195/post \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c'

# No Authorization header should return bad request

curl -v --request POST \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:4195/post

TODO

• Adjust Kafka batching config
• Error handling for Kafka publishing
