Simplifying data pipelines with Apache Kafka
|
Learn how to streamline your data pipelines using Apache Kafka. Explore its capabilities for real-time data streaming and integration with big data systems.
At a Glance
When you hear the terms, producer, consumer, topic category, broker, and cluster used together to describe a messaging system, something is brewing in the Kafka pipelines. Get connected and learn what that is, and what it means!
Many Big Data use cases have one thing in common – the use of Apache Kafka somewhere in the mix. Whether the distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service is being used for messaging, website activity tracking, stream processing, or more, there’s no denying it is a hot technology. In this course, you will learn how Kafka is used in the real world and its architecture and components. You will quickly get up and running, producing and consuming messages using both the command line tools and the Java APIs. You also will get hands-on experience connecting Kafka to Spark, and working with Kafka Connect.
