(the easiest place to do that is [confluent.cloud](https://confluent.cloud/)). You’ll need a Camunda 8 Cluster (the easiest place to do that is [Camunda SaaS](https://signup.camunda.com/accounts)). Then the fun can start.\n \nConnecting the two systems requires authentication and from your Kafka instance you’ll need the following.\n\n* **Username** -  You’ll get this from creating an API Key for your Kafka instance\n* **Password** - Same as the username, it’s part of the API Key creation\n* **Bootstrap** **Server** - After you create a Kafka cluster you’ll find this in the cluster settings.\n\n🔐 It’s important to know that it’s best practice not to simply copy and paste this sensitive information directly into the model but rather to [create a secret](https://docs.camunda.io/docs/components/console/manage-clusters/manage-secrets/) for each of these in your Camunda cluster. Then you can reference it by typing `{{secrete.yourSecreteHere}}` followed by the name of the key you want to access. \n\nFor this example to work you'll need to create secretes with the following names:\n* KafkaUsername\n* KafkaPassword\n* KafkaBootstrapServer\n\nNow you’re ready to upload and deploy the process.\n\n### Deploy and Start\n\nSimply upload the bpmn model to your Camunda 8 account. From the modeler you can deploy the process to a cluster. \n\nTo start an instance you can create a message on your Kafka cluster to a topic called `newDetails`\nThe message payload should look like this:\n\n``` JSON\n{\n  \"name\" : \"Niall\",\n  \"details\" : \"Great Hawks Inc.\",\n  \"value\" : 1000000,\n  \"newStock\" : true\n}\n```\nThe message should then be picked up by the start event and a process instance should start.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnpdeehan%2Fkafkaconnectorexample","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnpdeehan%2Fkafkaconnectorexample","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnpdeehan%2Fkafkaconnectorexample/lists"}
