Custom Event Consumer Configuration

The custom event consumer configuration enables clients to integrate and configure their own downstream services for event consumption. This solution allows clients to either establish a Kafka route for the direct handling and processing of events from a Kafka topic or to utilize a REST API for receiving events along with their associated data.

In either scenario, the identified event and its corresponding message will be recorded in a downstream Kafka topic. This arrangement provides clients with the flexibility to process and consume event data through either Kafka or an external REST API.
