Spring Cloud Stream Applications2025.0.1

Spring Cloud Stream Applications are standalone executable applications that communicate over messaging middleware such as Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ.

These applications can run independently on a variety of runtime platforms, including Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud Foundry, or even on your laptop.

Features

• Out-of-the-box applications ready to run as standalone Spring Boot applications.

• Assemble a set of applications into a coherent streaming data pipeline in Spring Cloud Data Flow.

• Override configuration parameters via application properties, environment variables, or in the YAML file.

Available Applications

You can find a list of the available applications here.

Quick Start

Step 1 - Download the latest time-source application from here (eg: 5.1.2-SNAPSHOT)

Step 2 - Download the latest log-sink application from here (eg: 5.1.2-SNAPSHOT)

Step 3 - Start Kafka

Step 4 - Start the Time Source producer application pointing to ticktock topic in Kafka

java -jar time-source-kafka-***.jar --spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.destination=ticktock

Step 5 - Start the Log Sink consumer application pointing to ticktock topic in Kafka

java -jar log-sink-kafka-***.jar --spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=ticktock --server.port=0

Step 6 - Verify ticktock output in the log-sink logs
