Local Kafka setup

Install bin

• http://kafka.apache.org/quickstart contains details to setup and manage Kafka server, below provides details to setup Kafka server in Linux/Mac, Windows will use bat commands in bin/windows instead

Local install with Docker

• Navigate to the directory docker-kafka
• Run the command docker-compose up -d

Local deployment

1. Make sure that Kafka is running.

2. From the project root directory, run the following command to install the dependencies

   npm install

3. To run linters if required

   npm run lint

   To fix possible lint errors:

   npm run lint:fix

4. Start the processor and health check dropin

   npm start

Local Deployment with Docker

To run the Skill Record Processor using docker, follow the below steps

1. Navigate to the directory docker

2. Rename the file sample.api.env to api.env

3. Set the auth0 config in the file api.env

4. Once that is done, run the following command

   docker-compose up

5. When you are running the application for the first time, It will take some time initially to download the image and install the dependencies

Verification

1. config AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET
2. start kafka-console-producer to write messages to backgroundjob.sync.user.skills docker exec -it skill-record-processor_kafka /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic backgroundjob.sync.user.skills
3. write message: { "topic": "backgroundjob.sync.user.skills", "originator": "backgroundjob.service", "timestamp": "2021-05-08T00:00:00.000Z", "mime-type": "application/json", "payload": {"id":"88774616","handle":"billsedison","firstName":"Sachin1","lastName":"Kumar1"} }
4. Watch the app console, It will show message successfully handled.
5. write non handle message: { "topic": "backgroundjob.sync.user.skills", "originator": "backgroundjob.service", "timestamp": "2021-05-08T00:00:00.000Z", "mime-type": "application/json", "payload": {"id":"88774616","firstName":"Sachin1","lastName":"Kumar1"} }
6. watch the app console, it will show the ignoring message
