Messaging-code-test

This repository represents a coding test. The goal of the test is to run a producer, consumer, and message broker, and then make them work together.

The code is written as a microservice, which is run by Docker

How to run the code

In the terminal at the code path with docker running: docker compose -p test-project up -d This runs 6 services in total:

• A .NET producer app
• A .NET consumer app
• An Apache Kafka broker
• 2 containers for a PostgreSQL database
• A Kafka UI for overview of the kafka service

Modularity

The producer sends messages in set intervals. This interval can be changed through the 'docker-compose.yml' file.

In 'services' adjust the environment variable called 'TIMER' at the producer service, which looks like:

  producer:
    image: ${DOCKER_REGISTRY-}producer
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Producer/Dockerfile
    depends_on:
      kafka:
        condition: service_started
    environment:
      TIMER: 1 <------ Adjust this variable to modify the timeout of the producer in seconds
