UPDATE: You can ignore this post now. I’ve done a FULL WALKTHROUGH!

It’s early days for the Onyx Platform and I’m using it in a number of projects as it plugs in with Kafka well. Though getting it up and running can be a bit confusing. So as an aide memoir for me more than anything, here’s the thirty second version.

I’m assuming you have leiningen installed. No tutorial or walkthrough, maybes later when I’ve got some more time and can present something a little more worthy but in the meantime here’s the basics.

With regards to Zookeeper Onyx is using it’s own in-memory version so there’s no need to spin one up for this quick overview.
