Apache Kafka serves as a distributed streaming platform and has become the de facto standard for constructing data pipelines. It addresses a wide array of data processing scenarios, functioning effectively as a message queue, a distributed log, a stream processor, and more.

The course begins by exploring the underlying theory of data pipelines, followed by an in-depth look at the core principles of Kafka. We will also examine key components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

In this instructor-led, live training at Slovakia (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to set up and integrate various Stream Processing frameworks with existing big data storage systems, as well as 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 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 utilize a high-throughput distributed messaging system. If you have more specific needs (e.g., focusing solely on system administration), this course can be customized to better fit your requirements.

This instructor-led live training in Slovakia (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level, intermediate-level, or 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 Slovakia (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level developers who wish to develop big data applications with Apache Kafka.

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

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

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