Kafka is extremely valuable as the core messaging platform of organizations. It has been battle-tested by the biggest companies in the world and, at the core of such high adoption, lies the possibility of letting Kafka be a source of truth around immutable event messages. In this course, Getting Started with Apache Kafka, you’ll gain the ability to leverage Kafka to migrate from monolithic setups to event-driven microservices using Kafka’s immutable event log. First, you’ll explore what Kafka is, it’s architecture and main components as the Producer and Consumer. Next, you’ll discover the ecosystem of Kafka Connect and Kafka Streams, and how they provide a way of developing microservices seamlessly. Finally, you’ll learn how to administer, scale and secure your Kafka cluster. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Apache Kafka needed to scale your company to a new level.
