Hi,
I have query on Kafka connector. I placed template file in camunda desktop modeler and now I can configure producer, receiver in modeler but I would like to know how zeebe knows it produce or consume?
Note: Im using Golang for worker implementation here so please provide solution accordingly.
Hi @camundabpmlearner - inbound Connectors (like the Kafka Consumer Connector) require Operate - see note on this page. That same documentation page has a good architectural overview of how Connectors work.
Some of this information overlaps with your other thread about gRPC Connectors, but the key is the Connector Runtime, which bridges the gap between your Connector code and the process engine. In order for the Connector to execute, you need to have the Runtime and the Connector running and connected to Zeebe; the Runtime registers with Zeebe so that Zeebe knows how to execute that particular Connector in your model. Inbound Connectors have an additional layer, and require Operate to receive the incoming request.
