Tutorial

Land your first event

You will send one synthetic event through a local gateway and see it accepted. This is a lesson, not a production how-to. If you already run ingestion, use the how-to instead.

You will

1. Start the local gateway.
2. POST one event.
3. Read the 202 and the event id.

Start the gateway

bashmake ingest-run

Wait until the log line contains listening. That is success for this step. Leave the process running.

Post an event

In a second terminal:

bashcurl -k -s -o /tmp/evt.json -w "%{http_code}" \
  https://127.0.0.1:8443/events \
  -d '{"id":"evt_learn","type":"tutorial.ping"}'

You should see 202. Open /tmp/evt.json — it contains evt_learn.

You are done

You can accept an event locally. What the queue does under failure, how partitions work, and how to operate lag are other documents. Stop here.
