Kafka for Developers - Data Contracts Using Schema Registry - Setting Up the Base Project - Gradle

This lecture covers setting up a base Spring Boot project using Gradle for a coffee order producer and consumer. It explains the project structure, focusing on modules like coffee order service and schemas. The setup process in IntelliJ is detailed, including importing the project and managing dependencies. The lecture also discusses the roles of different dependencies, particularly Avro and Spring Kafka, and outlines the consumer application's functionality. Finally, it highlights the next steps in building DTO classes and a Restful interface.
