Deployment
In this section, we walk through how to deploy the sample stream applications as standalone applications to the local host, Kubernetes, or Cloud Foundry.
This section describes standalone deployment of a distributed streaming pipeline using only native utilities for the selected platform. If you want to skip these steps by using Spring Cloud DataFlow, please see Stream Processing using Spring Cloud Data Flow.
When you deploy these three applications (UsageDetailSender, UsageCostProcessor, and UsageCostLogger), they form a pipeline in which the message flow is:
UsageDetailSender -> UsageCostProcessor -> UsageCostLoggerThe UsageDetailSender source application's Supplier output is connected to the UsageCostProcessor processor application's Function input.
The UsageCostProcessor application's Function output is connected to the UsageCostLogger sink application's Consumer input.
When these applications run, the configured Message binder binds the configured inputs and outputs to the message broker's configured destinations (exchanges, queues, topics). The message broker must be running and accessible to the application runtime environment. Spring Cloud Stream will programmatically create the required resources if necessary, or use existing ones.
