This version is still in development and is not considered stable yet. For the latest stable version, please use Korvet 0.12.5!

Getting Started

This guide will show you how to install and run Korvet.

Prerequisites

  • Java 25 or later

  • Redis 8+

  • Kafka client 2.8.0 or later (for connecting to Korvet)

  • Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)

Quick Start with Docker

The fastest way to get started is using Docker:

docker pull redisfield/korvet:latest
docker run -p 9092:9092 redisfield/korvet:latest

Korvet will start on port 9092 with default configuration.

Using with Kafka Clients

Once Korvet is running, you can use any Kafka client to produce and consume messages:

# Using kafka-console-producer
kafka-console-producer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test

# Using kafka-console-consumer
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
