In this tutorial, you will learn how recover from deserialization errors gracefully in your Kafka Consumer Spring Boot Microservice. You’ll see how to use specific settings to ensure that a single problematic message doesn’t disrupt your message processing. By the end, your consumer will be able to skip over errors and continue processing subsequent messages…

In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure Kafka Producer retries using two distinct approaches: The first approach utilizes the spring.kafka.producer.retries and spring.kafka.producer.properties.retry.backoff.ms configuration properties to define the number of retry attempts and the delay between them. The second approach involves the spring.kafka.producer.properties.linger.ms and spring.kafka.producer.properties.request.timeout.ms properties to manage the batching time and response timeout…

In Swift, dictionaries are an unordered collection of paired data or key-value pairs. They are very useful when you need to store data that has a specific association between a key and a value. However, sometimes you might want to remove certain items from the dictionary. In this tutorial, you will learn about different ways…

In a previous tutorial, you delved into the fundamentals of Swift closures, understanding their syntax, and exploring their practical applications. Building upon that knowledge, let’s explore the powerful realm of closures with multiple parameters. Understanding Closures According to Swift’s Official Documentation, closures are functional blocks in Swift that can be assigned to variables, passed as…

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of setting up a Kafka Consumer using the @Configuration class and the @Bean method. This approach offers more flexibility and control compared to using the application.properties file. Kafka consumer configuration can be achieved in two primary ways in a Spring Boot application: Using the application.properties…

In this tutorial, I will guide you through setting up a Kafka Consumer in a Spring Boot application. You will learn how to configure the consumer properties, create a listener class using the @KafkaListener annotation, and how to process messages with the @KafkaHandler annotation. Let’s start with the configuration. Kafka Consumer Configuration in application.properties In…

When you send out messages in Kafka, it’s essential to know they’ve been received and saved properly. That’s where two important settings come in: spring.kafka.producer.acks and min.insync.replicas. These settings help ensure that your messages are safely stored and acknowledged by the Kafka brokers. In this tutorial, I’ll explain what these settings are, how to configure…

In Apache Kafka, the min.insync.replicas configuration plays a crucial role in ensuring data durability and resilience. This setting determines the minimum number of replica copies (or in-sync replicas) that must acknowledge the receipt of a record before the producer can consider the write operation successful. Let’s break this down: Replicas: Think of these as backup…

In Swift, a dictionary is a data structure that stores information in key-value pairs. You can iterate or loop through a dictionary to access the keys and values within the loop. There are several ways to achieve this, including using  for-in loops and forEach methods. Using a For-In loop The for-in loop is a simpler way to iterate…
