Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that exchange data with a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, processing data between message producers and consumers has relied on Apache Spark or Apache Storm. By invoking the Kafka Streams API directly within an application, data can be processed natively within Kafka, eliminating the need 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 pass data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing.

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

• Understand 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
