The code is simple and resembles the producer and consumer we built earlier in the course. Let's run the producer and consumer now. We see the results as expected. The base template for producers and consumers are the same. When you build production grade code though, you will need to change your implementation based on few things. On the producer side, this code currently blocks until the producer actually publishes to kafka. So this may not scale well. You may want to explore a synchronize publishing capabilities.
