Dear Team,  
I setup confluent platform using link " [Quick Start for Confluent Platform | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/quickstart/ce-docker-quickstart.html)" and setup PostgreSQL database in the same docker compose file. Everything looks good so far, but I am unable to setup JDBC connection to send data from DB to Kafka and Kafka to DB. Could you please help with any solution.

I’m not clear if you’re hitting errors (if so what are they?) that you need help with, or don’t know how to do this setup and are looking for instructions. If you can clarify this then we can help you better 🙂
