In this tutorial I want to show you how to connect to WebSocket data source and pass the events straight to Apache Kafka. For this, I will use the Spring Cloud Stream framework. Enjoy!

For this tutorial, I use:

• IntelliJ IDEA

• Meetup.com RSVP API

Creating Spring Cloud Stream project

First step is to create a Spring project with the necessary dependencies. I highly suggest using Spring Initializr to generate a clean Spring project. This comes with an integration in IntelliJ IDEA as well. I will be using Java 8 for this project.****
