Sharing a couple of tips for quick-and-dirty demo setups.
I often need to put together demos of IBM Event Automation without much notice. The starting point is almost always needing to get a bunch of interesting events onto a Kafka topic.
What I need is a jumping-off point to illustrate the benefit of sharing streams of events in Event Endpoint Management, or the types of processing you can do in Event Processing. And to do that, I need a topic with events on them that will look interesting or relevant to who I’m demo’ing to.
If I’ve got time to do this properly, I’ll setup a generator that will give me a continuous stream of randonly-generated events (example). But if I’m in a hurry, I’ll use the REST Producer API and do something like this instead.
