Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform that has become the de facto standard for building data pipelines. It addresses a wide array of data processing use cases, serving effectively as a message queue, distributed log, stream processor, and more.

We begin with an exploration of the theoretical foundations of data pipelines, followed by an in-depth look at Kafka's core concepts. Additionally, we will examine key components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

In this instructor-led live training at Serbia (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to set up and integrate different Stream Processing frameworks with existing big data storage systems and related software applications and microservices.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure different Stream Processing frameworks, such as Spark Streaming and Kafka Streaming.
• Understand and select the most appropriate framework for the job.
• Process of data continuously, concurrently, and in a record-by-record fashion.
• Integrate Stream Processing solutions with existing databases, data warehouses, data lakes, etc.
• Integrate the most appropriate stream processing library with enterprise applications and microservices.

This course is designed for enterprise architects, developers, system administrators, and anyone seeking to understand and implement a high-throughput distributed messaging system. If you have specific requirements, such as focusing solely on system administration, the course can be customized to better meet your needs.

This instructor-led, live training in Serbia (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level / intermediate-level / advanced-level system administrators and operations engineers who wish to use Apache Kafka to deploy, secure, monitor, and troubleshoot Kafka clusters.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to explain Kafka architecture and KRaft mode, operate and secure Kafka clusters, monitor performance and reliability, and resolve common production issues.

This instructor-led, live training in Serbia (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level developers who wish to develop big data applications with Apache Kafka.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop Kafka producers and consumers to send and read data from Kafka.
• Integrate Kafka with external systems using Kafka Connect.
• Write streaming applications with Kafka Streams & ksqlDB.
• Integrate a Kafka client application with Confluent Cloud for cloud-based Kafka deployments.
• Gain practical experience through hands-on exercises and real-world use cases.

This instructor-led live training in Serbia (online or onsite) is aimed at data engineers, data scientists, and programmers who wish to apply Apache Kafka features for data streaming with Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to use Apache Kafka to monitor and manage conditions in continuous data streams using Python programming.

This instructor-led, live training in Serbia (online or onsite) is tailored for intermediate-level Java developers seeking to integrate Apache Kafka into their applications for reliable, scalable, and high-throughput messaging.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the architecture and core components of Kafka.
• Set up and configure a Kafka cluster.
• Produce and consume messages using Java.
• Implement Kafka Streams for real-time data processing.
• Ensure fault tolerance and scalability in Kafka applications.

This instructor-led live training in Serbia (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level system administrators looking to effectively leverage Kafka's message queuing features.

By the conclusion of this training, attendees will be able to:

• Comprehend the architecture and message queuing capabilities of Kafka.
• Configure Kafka topics to suit message queuing scenarios.

This instructor-led, live training in Serbia (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level developers who want to master the fundamentals of Kafka and integrate it with Spring Boot.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the concepts and architecture of Kafka.
• Learn how to install, configure, and establish a basic Kafka environment.
• Integrate Kafka seamlessly with Spring Boot.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for developing applications and microservices that exchange data with a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has depended on Apache Spark or Apache Storm to handle data processing between message producers and consumers. By invoking the Kafka Streams API within an application, data can be processed directly inside Kafka, eliminating the necessity to route data to a separate cluster for processing.

In this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into sample Java applications that facilitate data transfer to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend the features and advantages of Kafka Streams compared to other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Develop a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Write concise code to transform input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Build, package, and deploy the application

Audience

• Developers

Format of the course

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
