Download the project

Clone the following project from GitHub to your computer: https://github.com/testcontainers/workshop

Build the project to download the dependencies

With Gradle:

# -x check - skips the tests
./gradlew build -x check

(optionally) Pull the required images before doing the workshop

This might be helpful if the internet connection at the workshop venue is somewhat slow.

docker pull postgres:14-alpine
docker pull redis:6-alpine
docker pull openjdk:8-jre-alpine
docker pull confluentinc/cp-kafka:6.2.1
