[aerogear-dev] GSOC First month update

[Polina Koleva]

Hey :)

This first month of GSOC is almost finished. The integration of Kafka in
UPS is 90% done. We now have our first consumer and producer in the
project. The next step is working on Java EE programming model for Kafka.
Matthias has already implemented a library kafka-cdi
<https://github.com/matzew/kafka-cdi>which provides some basic
functionality, so we can extend it if we need something more in the UPS.
Another topic that we will work on during the next month is Kafka Security,
Kafka Streams and Kafka on Openshift. We are still in process of defining
more concrete tasks for these epics.

We have done some pull requests and we will be really happy if we receive
your feedback so we can improve the code and merge them as soon as possible
so we can continue our work.

1) First Kafka consumer
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/853> -
an addition of first Kafka consumer. It updates metrics how many times the
app was opened because of push notification.
2) Set up Kafka test environment
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/848> -  add
really simple Kafka producer/consumer test cases
3) Add Kafka CDI library dependency
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/855> -
include the library for Kafka CDI in the project
4) Add first Kafka producer
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/841> - add a
first producer that writes to a topic how many times an app was opened
because of a push notification (metrics update)
5) Describe installation of Kafka
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/838> - write
readme file about the installation of Kafka and how to integrate it with UPS

Thanks in advance.
