Packaging & Running Standalone

A short but necessary bridge module: before either service can be containerized (Module 19), it needs to run correctly outside the IDE.

Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Build an executable JAR for a Spring Boot Kafka service and run it outside the IDE.
  • Intermediate: Pass environment-specific configuration (broker address, credentials) to a packaged JAR without hardcoding it.
  • Advanced: Diagnose a "works in the IDE, fails standalone" bug caused by an environment/configuration mismatch.
