Become a Local Development Jedi with Strimzi and KIND
summary
Shows how to run a local Kafka stack with Strimzi and KIND: uses Strimzi CanICO build to compile Kafka Connect image with the Little Horse connector, runs a single-node KIND cluster with a sibling Docker registry, and exposes brokers via KIND node port mapping plus /etc/hosts hostnames. Demo produces records from a terminal, Kafka Connect consumes them, and Little Horse workflows trigger — the image build and connector deployment succeed and the workflows run for test customers.
