This project serves as a starting point for learning and using Kafka, Scala (via Maven with scala-maven-plugin), HOCON configurations, logging with SLF4J and Log4j2, and containerization with Docker. It demonstrates a simple producer-consumer setup with Kafka, where messages can be published to a Kafka topic and consumed in real-time.

This repo demonstrates how to execute JUnit 4 Vintage test together with JUnit 5 Jupiter tests by using Maven build tool in mixed java / scala test classes in the project
