Kroxylicious Demo

This repository contains a demo of an application that uses Kroxylicious to encrypt data that will be written to Kafka.

Components

The demo contains:

• A Confluent Kafka broker cluster
• Confluent Control Center to illustrate encrypted vs unencrypted data
• A Kroxylicious implementation
• A Quarkus application that produces and consumes weather information

Docker Compose is used to control the components - see the docker-compose.yaml file for more info.

The demo consists of two parts - a producer:

• The Quarkus weather application produces random weather reading on a topic in Json format. Quarkus connects to the Kroxylicious proxy
• The Kroxylicious application encrypts the data using keys stored in Hashicorp vault
• Kroxylicious produces messages using the Kafka brokers

...and a consumer:

• The Quarkus weather application consumers records from the weather reading requestin records from Kroxylicious
• Kroxylicious reads an encrypted message from the broker
• Kroxylicious decrypts the message using keys stored in Hashicorp vault

Usage

The repository is a Gradle multi module project.

To build the project:

> ./gradlew clean build

To run the project using Docker Compose:

> docker compose build
> docker compose up -d
