What is it?

Ready to use kafka environment.

How to use?

Run the startup.sh script, which:

1. Builds the image
2. Runs the container from the freshly built image
3. Runs SSH with the kafka being a workdir

For us to be able to send and receive events, we need:

1. Zookeeper being started
2. Kafka broker being started
3. Topic being created
4. Producer + Consumer being up and ready
