Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform that has become the de facto standard for constructing data pipelines. It addresses a wide range of data processing challenges and can be utilized as a message queue, distributed log, stream processor, and more.

We will begin by delving into the theoretical foundations of data pipelines in general, followed by an exploration of the core concepts underlying Kafka. Additionally, we will examine key components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

In this instructor-led, live training in 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 interested in understanding and utilizing a high-throughput distributed messaging system. If you have specific requirements, such as focusing solely on the system administration aspect, the course can be customized to better meet your needs.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for developing applications and microservices that handle data flow within a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has relied on external frameworks like Apache Spark or Apache Storm to process data between producers and consumers. By integrating the Kafka Streams API into an application, data can be processed directly within Kafka, eliminating the need to send it to a separate cluster for processing.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to incorporate Kafka Streams into a series of sample Java applications that exchange data with Apache Kafka for stream processing.

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

• Understand the features and advantages of Kafka Streams over other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Create 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

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
