Quickstart
This quickstart will get you started with Buz, a multi-node Redpanda cluster, and the Redpanda console for rapidly bootstrapping a lightweight streaming stack.
If you don't have docker and docker-compose you will need to install those first.
1. Clone the Buz repo
git clone git@github.com:silverton-io/buz.git && cd buz
~/code ❯❯❯ git clone git@github.com:silverton-io/buz.git

~/code ❯❯❯ cd buz
2. Bootstrap Buz, Redpanda, and the Redpanda Console
docker-compose -f examples/quickstart/docker-compose.yml up -d
This step requires docker-compose.
~/c/buz ❯❯❯ docker-compose -f examples/quickstart/docker-compose.yml up -d

3. Send Events to Buz
The Buz quickstart serves an instrumented page to quickly start firing Snowplow Browser Tracker events located here: localhost:8081
The following events are tracked (using both the GET and batch POST capabilities of the Snowplow tracker):
- Page views
- Page pings (time on page)
- Transaction events and transaction item events
- Struct events
- Snowplow self-describing events
4. View Events in the Redpanda Console
The Buz Quickstart runs a Redpanda Console at localhost:8082.
Incoming events can be viewed in the console using the Topic Viewer:
