Introduction #

The example in this section is based on the example for events from Events (see the drawing below).

The microservice microservice-kafka-order is responsible for creating the order as it sends the orders to a Kafka topic. Therefore, the microservice-kafka-order is the producer.

Two microservices read the orders; the microservice microservice-kafka-invoicing issues an invoice for an order, and the microservice microservice-kafka-shipping delivers the ordered goods.

The two microservices are organized in two consumer groups. Each record is just consumed and processed by:

• one instance of the microservice microservice-kafka-invoicing
• one instance of microservice-kafka-shipping.
