2. Extract the Files: If your download is in a zipped format, extract the files to a folder of your choice.

3. Open a Terminal: Launch your terminal (Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Terminal) and navigate to the folder where you extracted the files.

4. Build and Run the Docker Containers: Execute the following command to start the services:

   docker-compose up

   This command pulls the required images and starts the Kafka and FastAPI services.

5. Access the Application: Once the services are running, open your web browser and type:

   http://localhost:8000
   

   You will see the FastAPI interface, where you can begin interacting with the demo.

📊 How It Works

• Kafka: Acts as a message broker. It handles the exchange of messages between different services.
• FastAPI: Provides a web interface for users. It allows users to send and receive messages easily.
• Docker: Simplifies the setup process. It ensures that all dependencies run smoothly in isolated environments.

📦 Usage

When you first access the FastAPI web interface, you will see options to send and receive messages. Follow these simple steps:

1. Send a Message:

   • Navigate to the endpoint for sending messages.
   • Input your message and hit send.
   • Your message will be processed and passed through Kafka.

2. Receive Messages:

   • Go to the endpoint for receiving messages.
   • View messages as they arrive in real time.
