🚀 CloudEvent Router and Gateway

A simple POC for a Gateway that is routing CloudEvents from different sources to a Kafka topic.

Input/Source Options

The current version of the Gateway supports input via HTTP and Apache Kafka.

HTTP source

The gateway supports an /ce endpoint that understands the CloudEvent format, and publishes it to a Kafka topic, matching the eventType of the CloudEvent.

Kafka source

The gateway listens to a global topic (gw.global.input.cloudevents) for incoming events. It than routes them to the Kafka topic, representing the given eventType.

Sinks

The Gateway is based on Apache Kafka, and all incoming CloudEvents are routed to a Kafka topic/sink, representing the event type.

HTTP Sink

Publishing all events from a given/configurable event-type to a configurable HTTP endpoint.

Kafka Sink

Any eventType topic can be accessed with normal Apache Kafka APIs, such as the Streams API, for processing CloudEvents.
