 It runs the ecosystem and all the microservices for you including Kafka Connect, Elasticsearch, KSQL and Control Center.
 
 To play with this ecosystem the simplest way is to run the tests and fiddle with the code (stand alone execution is only supported in branch 5.0.0+ so go there if you want stand alone or docker support). Each test boots a self-contained Kafka cluster so it's easy to play with different queries and configurations.
