Creating a Kafka Topic

cd into the Kafka directory, and run the following command to create a new topic:

./bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic thetechcheck --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --zookeeper localhost:2181

Running the SpringBoot application

cd into the project directory and run the following command to create a .jar file of the project:

mvn clean install

This will create a .jar file in the target directory, inside the project directory. Now to run the project, run the following command from the same project directory:

java -jar target/<name_of_jar_file>.jar

You should now be seeing the output in the terminal.

Update: Just run the application after doing maven clean install and the the constructor calls the test producer which then gets consumed later. You have to have created the producer and consumer first. I named them ray.producer and ray.consumer in the properties file. Which i created through postman instead of doing the command above.
