Embedded Kafka for testing without spring [closed]

Question

Is there any framework/tool which can provide Embedded Kafka instance (Kafka Brokers) without any dependency of spring in Java/Scala?

Can someone please provide a working example of it?

Answer 1

You have several options.

Check out the samples on Confluent examples repo, they use embedded instances of Kafka, ZooKeeper, and Confluent Schema Registry (an example: https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-streams-examples/blob/65f770c75988afc33d3813a1aa4f9f7818fe81d8/src/test/java/io/confluent/examples/streams/WikipediaFeedAvroExampleTest.java#L51)

TestContainers might be another alternative.

Citrus has also support for that.

If you are using Scala, check out the Embedded Kafka library
