Produce and consume messages in the Astra Portal
To verify that your Astra Streaming tenant can produce and consume messages, you can use the Try Me feature in the Astra Portal.
Prerequisites
You need an Astra Streaming tenant with at least one namespace and two topics (one for the producer and one for the consumer). For instructions, see the Astra Streaming quickstart or Create and manage Astra Streaming tenants, namespaces, and topic.
Produce and consume a test message
-
In the Astra Portal header, click Applications, and then select Streaming.
-
Click the name of your tenant.
-
Click the Try Me tab.
-
Select a namespace, producer topic, and consumer topic for the test.
-
For this example, use the default values for the Connection type, Read position, Subscription, and Subscription Type settings. In future tests, you might want to change these settings.
-
Click Connect to open a websocket connection in your browser with the producer topic.
-
In the Send message field, enter a test message, and then click Send.
A message is produced (sent) to your selected producer topic, and then the consumer topic consumes (retrieves) the message. Produced and consumed messages are printed in a chat style format in the Test Message dialog.
