Here’s the code Sounds interesting? It did to me and these are the steps to do just that. I will be using the AWS Cloud Development Kit to deploy an Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka cluster. By the end of this post you should have an AWS managed Kafka cluster setup and ready to use. You will also have some basic method of validating that it works and a CICD pipeline setup which will allow you to easily deploy changes.

Keep it as simple as possible, given the subject matter. Follow the minimum security guidelines you would expect of production code. Write tests as appropriate, especially end to end tests. Give access to all the source code. Write a CICD pipeline and give access to all configuration for it Document mistakes and dead ends so that others understand how the sausage really gets made. Try to give an honest estimate of how long this actually takes.
