45.3. Usage
Copy link

45.3.1. Quarkus Kafka Dev Services
Copy link

Camel Quarkus Kafka can take advantage of Quarkus Kafka Dev services to simplify development and testing with a local containerized Kafka broker.

Kafka Dev Services is enabled by default in dev & test mode. The Camel Kafka component is automatically configured so that the brokers component option is set to point at the local containerized Kafka broker. Meaning that there’s no need to configure this option yourself.

This functionality can be disabled with the configuration property quarkus.kafka.devservices.enabled=false.

If false then any Kafka configuration properties discovered by the Quarkus Kubernetes Service Binding extension are ignored, and all of the Kafka component configuration is driven by Camel.
