Launching the Redpanda Server

Redpanda is a Kafka-compatible streaming platform designed for high performance and simplicity.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the Redpanda directory:

   cd /redpanda

2. Start the Redpanda server using Docker Compose:

   docker compose up

3. Once launched, access the Redpanda UI at http://localhost:8080/.
4. In the "Topics" section, create a new topic named orders for later use.

Configuring CMakeLists.txt

Before building the project, ensure the CMakeLists.txt file is configured with the correct paths:

# Specify the include directory for headers
include_directories(src/include)

# Specify the include directory for librdkafka
include_directories(/opt/homebrew/include)

# Specify the library directory for librdkafka
link_directories(/opt/homebrew/lib)

Building and Running the C++ Application

1. Create and navigate to the build directory:

   mkdir build
   cd build

2. Generate the build files with CMake:

   cmake ..

3. Compile the project:

   cmake --build .

4. Run the compiled executable:

   ./euronext-router

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Docker is running before launching Redpanda.
• Verify librdkafka is correctly installed and linked during the build process.
• Use docker ps to confirm that the Redpanda containers are running.
