Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform designed to handle real-time data streaming and processing in a distributed and fault-tolerant manner. This course can be taken by software developers and data engineers wanting to learn Kafka to build data-intensive applications.

You will begin with an introduction to the Kafka architecture, client libraries, and its project ecosystem. Next, you will learn to use the Kafka Client APIs along with key configurations. Then, you will learn to develop stream processing applications using Kafka Streams. You will also explore the Kafka Connect Source and Sink connectors. You will finish by learning to make Kafka-related projects in addition to the core ecosystem.

After completing this course, you will be comfortable with developing data-intensive applications. The course will prove helpful for anyone who wants to learn Kafka using a practical, hands-on approach for building real-time data streaming, event-driven architecture, microservices, and log aggregation.
