alert-stream-broker — Alert transmission to brokers

The Alert Stream Broker is responsible for rapid dissemination of alerts (from observatory operations) to community alert brokers. It is built on top of Apache Kafka and uses Apache Avro as the schema for alerts.

For testing during construction, the alert-stream-broker application includes an alert stream simulator, which periodically posts a static set of alerts to allow testing the alert pipeline. During normal observatory operations, the alerts will instead come from the Alert Production pipelines.
