Using Inflect ​

How to Install and Deploy Inflect ​

Prerequisites ​

  • Docker version 24+
  • kubectl version 1.28+
  • Node version 20.0+ and npm version 10+
  • Have your Kafka broker URLs, Kafka API keys, and (optional) Schema Registry API keys ready

1. Clone the stream processor repository ​

sh
$ git clone https://github.com/inflect-framework/stream-processor.git

2. Install npm packages ​

sh
$ cd stream-processor
$ npm i

3. Run make deploy ​

sh
$ make deploy

This will begin the Inflect startup script

Using a self-hosted Kafka cluster?

If your Kafka cluster is self-hosted, provide a comma-separated list of all broker addresses (e.g., kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092) during setup

If using SASL_PLAIN for authentication, provide username and password instead of API key/secret

If using a self-hosted Schema Registry, leave the Registry API fields blank and provide only the Registry URL.
