```
1. The Kafkatorio game mod, [`events-mod`](./modules/events-mod), collects event data, de-bouncing
and grouping events, and converts them to JSON packets
2. `events-mod` prints the packets to the Factorio game server logs
3. The Factorio logs are forwarded to a Kafka cluster, either using
* [syslog](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/syslog/) (using Docker logging
plugin)
* or [Kafka Pipe](./modules/infra-kafka-pipe) (a script that reads the server logs and forwards
them to a Kafka topic)
4. The packets are consumed by [`events-server`](./modules/events-server), which processes the
packets using Kafka Streams, creating and hosting map tiles.
`events-server` serves the map tiles via a REST API, and produces WebSocket messages regarding
updates (for example, when a player's location has changed).
5. The `web-map` uses Leaflet/JS to display the map, using the tiles and WebSocket messages from
`events-server`
