Apache Kafka Series – Learn Apache Kafka for Beginners v2

Description

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2018: Course newly recorded with Kafka 2.0!

Welcome to the Apache Kafka Series! Join a community of 20,000+ students learning Kafka.

Apache Kafka has become the leading distributed data streaming enterprise big data technology. Kafka is used in production by over 33% of the Fortune 500 companies such as Netflix, Airbnb, Uber, Walmart and LinkedIn.

To learn Kafka easily, step-by-step, you have come to the right place! No prior Kafka knowledge is required

===============================

If you look at the documentation, you can see that Apache Kafka is not easy to learn…

Thanks to my several years of experience in Kafka and Big Data, I wanted to make learning Kafka accessible to everyone.

We’ll take a step-by-step approach to learn all the fundamentals of Apache Kafka.
At the end of this course, you’ll be productive and you’ll know the following:

The Apache Kafka Ecosystem Architecture
The Kafka Core Concepts: Topics, Partitions, Brokers, Replicas, Producers, Consumers, and more!
Launch your own Kafka cluster in no time using native Kafka binaries – Windows / MacOS X / Linux
Learn and Practice using the Kafka Command Line Interface (CLI)
Code Producer and Consumers using the Java API
Real world project using Twitter as a source of data for a producer and ElasticSearch as a sink for our consumer
Overview of Advanced APIs (Kafka Connect, Kafka Streams)
Real World Case Studies and Big Use cases
Overview of Advanced Kafka for Administrators
Advanced Topic Configurations
Annexes (starting a Kafka cluster locally, using Docker, etc…)

Note: The hands-on section is based on Java, which is the native Kafka programming language. But, good news! Your learning in Java will be completely applicable to other programming languages, such as Python, C#, Node.js or Scala, and Big Data frameworks such as Spark, NiFi or Akka
