Getting Started

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

Prerequisites

  • Java 17 or later

  • Redis 7.0 or later (with Redis Streams support)

  • 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
