Hello, There is currently no documentation how to deploy Kafka Streams to production. We have built a cool Kafka Streams application and we wish to make it a part of our production system. At the moment, we currently run the Kafka streaming application with the java –jar command and we stop the process with the kill command (ctrl-c). Obviously, this is not how we should deploy this application to production ☺. I have searched and searched and found no documentation, blog, question, anything about how to deploy a Kafka Streams jar to production. In the interest of this thread, I am specifically interested in deploying our Kafka Streams app to Ubuntu 16.04 and use systemd to start, stop, and if possible check the status of the JVM process itself. It would be something similar to how Spring Boot works (http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/deployment-install.html) with Systemd. Please let me know what options are available for Kafka Streams deployment and if systemd is possible. Thanks for your help and great job on Kafka Streams!
Phillip
