Avro Console Producer

Avro Console Producer is a tool used to send data messages to a Kafka topic in the Avro data format. It allows users to input data directly from the command line, which is then serialized into Avro’s compact, efficient binary format before being sent to Kafka. This tool is helpful for testing, debugging, or quickly sending data without needing a full application. It ensures data adheres to a predefined schema, maintaining consistency and structure within Kafka streams. Essentially, it simplifies the process of producing structured data to Kafka for development and troubleshooting purposes.
