Getting started

This guide explains how to build a proof-of-concept (PoC) use-case that uses IBM Event Streams as part of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration running on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OpenShift) on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE.

This solution updates a remote database whenever a change happens in the database that is running in OpenShift.

The final architectural setup for the PoC looks like this:

In addition, this guide shows you how set up PoC MongoDB to run on OpenShift that is installed on top of IBM Z and LinuxONE.

This guide is divided into these steps:

• The OpenShift environment prerequisites and resource planning

• Setting up IBM Cloud Pak for Integration

• Setting up MongoDB

• Setting up the solution including IBM Event Streams, Kafka Cluster, Kafka Connect, and Connectors
