The Logic Operator can connect and configure a Knative Eventing platform automatically based on the definition of the SonataFlow spec events.

In some contexts, users might require to connect to an external Kafka broker instead. 

Goals

• Provide an example that produces and consumes events from an external Kafka broker.
• Deploy this workflow application as a SonataFlow CR with a customizable SonataFlowPlatform that can replicate the same configuration to multiple SonataFlow instances.
• Document this process upstream and migrate it to downstream docs.

Testing

• Ensure regression tests exist and are integrated within QE pipelines
• Certify required versions of Kafka
