The blog post outlines a method to integrate Apache Kafka with Couchbase using Java applications as a producer and consumer to handle data transfer. The setup consists of four key components: a Kafka producer, an Apache Kafka queue, a Kafka consumer, and a Couchbase server. The producer sends messages to the Kafka queue using sample JSON data generated with Mockaroo, which are then consumed by the Kafka consumer. The consumer retrieves these messages and inserts them into Couchbase using the Couchbase Java SDK, with an emphasis on simplicity by employing the synchronous SDK. The blog emphasizes that while the demo is run on a single node setup, production environments would typically distribute these components across multiple machines for scalability and reliability. The complete code, including Maven dependencies, is available on GitHub for those interested in replicating or expanding upon this example.
