Apache Kafka Guru - Zero to Hero in Minutes (Mac/Windows)

Apache Kafka Guru - Zero to Hero in Minutes (Mac/Windows)

Learn Apache Kafka with plenty of hands on practicals !!!

Just in few minutes you will be on the route to be an Apache Kafka hero. You will learn in this course how 1000s of companies have built their business solutions (ex. Netflix) around Apache Kafka.

This comprehensive Kafka tutorial starts with building foundation about all major concepts in Apache Kafka. This part of the course is vital for understanding how Kafka really works. This section will help you with hands-on exercises later in this course.

In the later part of this Kafka tutorial, we will have lots of hands-on exercises covering from basic to advanced topics of Kafka. You will learn how to set up Apache Kafka on your personal computer (Mac/Linux or Windows PC). Then create Kafka topics (where actual data is stored inside Kafka) & perform various operations on your topics. Later you will setup Kafka producers and Kafka consumers to send and receive data.

Under more advance topics you will learn how to create your own Kafka Producers and Kafka Consumers.

WHY APACHE KAFKA

Apache Kafka is one of the most promising data processing system available today. Apache Kafka is an open source distributed streaming platform which can handle 100s of billions of events in a day.

It is giving tough competition to other streaming applications such as Apache Spark & Flink.

Apache Kafka is easy to setup and learn. It enables you to connect multiple systems to share the data in 100s of different possible combinations. For instance, using Apache Kafka, you can connect a legacy Relation Database System  (RDBMS) with Apache Hadoop's Distributed File System, or with ElasticSearch in ELK stack. You can also capture data from one system and send it to AWS S3 or AWS Lambda functions. The possibilities are endless.

That's why every data engineer and data architect must learn Apache Kafka today.

ABOUT THIS COURSE

In this course you will learn all core concepts in Apache Kafka followed by hands-on practicals to dig deeper into the concepts and see how Kafka really work first hand. Apart from this, you will also learn how to integrate Apache Kafka with Spark Streaming and build a real world like data processing system. Once you complete this exercise, it will enable you to work on any company's applications.

You will also learn how to create your own custom Kafka Producers and Kafka Consumers using Java code in easy to understand manner. These exercises will greatly boost your confidence to build any custom producers and consumers for real world problems.
