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

The course begins by exploring the underlying principles of data pipelines before delving into the core concepts of Kafka. You will also gain insights into essential components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

In this instructor-led, live training in Sweden (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to set up and integrate different Stream Processing frameworks with existing big data storage systems and related software applications and microservices.

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

• Install and configure various Stream Processing frameworks, such as Spark Streaming and Kafka Streaming.
• Understand and select the most suitable framework for the task at hand.
• Process data continuously, concurrently, and in a record-by-record manner.
• 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 looking to understand and utilize a high-throughput distributed messaging system. For those with specific requirements (such as focusing solely on system administration), the course content can be customized to better meet your needs.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that communicate with a Kafka messaging system. Historically, processing data between producers and consumers in Apache Kafka has relied on external tools like Apache Spark or Apache Storm. However, by utilizing the Kafka Streams API within an application, data can be processed directly inside the Kafka environment, 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 send and receive data via 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

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
