Description

Welcome to our Apache Kafka course! In this course, we’ll explore the exciting world of event-driven architectures and give you a comprehensive understanding of how Apache Kafka handles real-time data streams.We’ll begin by explaining what an event is and why it’s fundamental to modern data systems. You’ll get a clear overview of Kafka’s high-level architecture, including key concepts like Kafka topics, partitions, and how data is distributed and stored efficiently across the cluster.We’ll then dive into the Kafka producer and its configuration, covering the default partitioner and the record accumulator, which ensure data is published efficiently and reliably.Next, we’ll explore the Kafka consumer, how it manages offsets, and the role of consumer groups in scaling data processing across multiple consumers.What sets this course apart is our focus on visuals and diagrams to explain complex concepts. We believe in the power of visual learning, so you’ll have access to clear, detailed diagrams throughout the course. By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of the core concepts of Kafka, from producers and consumers to topics and partitions.Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your knowledge, this course will give you a solid understanding of how Kafka works, using visually engaging content that will help the concepts stick in your memory. With the help of clear diagrams and visual explanations, you'll be able to confidently grasp Kafka’s core principles and apply them in real-world scenarios. Let’s get started!
