Fundamentals of Apache Kafka

Learn the Basics of Apache Kafka from Scratch and Master Building Reliable, Scalable Real-time Data Processing Systems.

In this course, you will become familiar with Kafka's architecture, the principles of producers and consumers, ensuring reliability of stream processing, message delivery semantics, and tools from the Kafka ecosystem—such as Kafka Connect and Schema Registry.

Apache Kafka is at the core of real-time data processing systems used by the most innovative companies in the world. If you want to understand how massive data streams are processed "on the fly," this course will be an excellent starting point.

You will gain practical insights into how Kafka is structured and why this is important. You'll learn to create robust producers and consumers, solve real-world tasks, and understand the trade-offs between different data delivery methods.

By the end of the course, you won't just understand how Kafka works—you will be able to use it to build reliable, scalable real-time data processing systems.
