kafka-gh-actions-trigger

Trigger a GitHub Actions workflow from a Kafka message

Usage

1. Create a GitHub repo with a workflow like https://github.com/mheers/gh-actions-test

2. Create a GitHub token with workflow scope.

3. Create a .env file with the following content:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-token
REPO_ORG=your-repo-org
REPO_NAME=your-repo-name

4. Run the following commands:

# start Kafka
docker compose up -d

# run the app
export $(cat .env | xargs)
go run main.go

5. Produce a message to the gh-actions-trigger topic:

docker compose exec kafka kafka-console-producer --topic gh-actions-trigger --bootstrap-server localhost:29092

When you produce a message, the GitHub Actions workflow will be triggered.
