Usage

To use kafka-chat, you'll need to make sure the docker-compose.yaml file is running (docker-compose up -d), then simply execute the application with your username as the first (and only) argument.

kafka-chat {username}

Note: For now, kafka-chat always assumes kafka is located @ localhost:9092
