🛠️ Running Locally

1. Start Kafka locally (ensure Kafka and Zookeeper are running):
   • Follow instructions to set up Kafka and Zookeeper locally.
2. Run each microservice individually:
   • Each service can be run via Spring Boot. Ensure the correct port configurations for each service.
3. Use Postman or any HTTP client:
   • Hit POST /api/orders to simulate order creation. This will trigger Kafka events and subsequent processing.
