 # Kafka Streams Examples
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> This repo is replaced with [Confluent Tutorials for Apache Kafka](https://github.com/confluentinc/tutorials).
+We still "keep the lights on", but we don't improve existing examples any longer, nor do we add new example.
+
 This project contains code examples that demonstrate how to implement real-time applications and event-driven
 microservices using the Streams API of [Apache Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) aka Kafka Streams.
