Kafka as Docker for Django-Y

Overview

The Kafka as Docker for Django-Y project is a Docker-based solution designed to help you set up Kafka and Zookeeper containers for local development. This setup is ideal for developers working with Django applications who need a reliable and straightforward way to integrate Kafka for testing and development purposes.

Purpose

This tool addresses the need for a simplified local environment setup for Kafka and Zookeeper. By using Docker, developers can easily spin up these services without the hassle of manual installation and configuration. It’s particularly useful for testing Kafka integrations in Django applications.

Features
