Everything has worked up to this point.. I tried looking through the code but can't spot the problem.

i keep getting errors with these redpanda examples.. I also had problems with the SASL/TLS Field Guide tutorial.. and the Documentation doesn't seem to do very well with explaining things. The HA production options/documentation doesn't really explain much at all.. either that or I'm really lagging on my knowledge.
