This package consumes the events from the Kafka topic, which were previously produced and filtered in the Transformer layer. The Consumer then performs two primary functions:
-
Data Storage: The package saves the consumed data into the database. It efficiently stores the relevant events, ensuring seamless access to the data for further processing.
-
Endpoint Exposition: The Consumer exposes endpoints to clients, enabling them to retrieve the stored data from the database. These endpoints provide a convenient and structured way for clients to access the indexed blockchain data related to MATIC token transfers.
Note: Make sure you are inside the example/nft_balancer/consumer folder.
