Apache Kafka serves as a distributed streaming platform and has become the de facto standard for constructing data pipelines. It addresses a wide array of data processing scenarios, functioning effectively as a message queue, a distributed log, or a stream processor, among other roles.

The course begins with an overview of the theoretical foundations of data pipelines, followed by an exploration of Kafka's core concepts. Additionally, key components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect will be examined.

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

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

• Install and configure different Stream Processing frameworks, such as Spark Streaming and Kafka Streaming.
• Understand and select the most appropriate framework for specific tasks.
• Process data continuously, concurrently, and on a record-by-record basis.
• Integrate Stream Processing solutions with existing databases, data warehouses, data lakes, etc.
• Integrate the most suitable stream processing library with enterprise applications and microservices.

This course is designed for enterprise architects, developers, system administrators, and anyone seeking to understand and utilize high-throughput distributed messaging systems. Should you have specific requirements (such as focusing solely on system administration), the course content can be customized to better fit your needs.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for developing applications and microservices that exchange data with a Kafka messaging system. Historically, processing data between message producers and consumers in Apache Kafka has depended on tools like Apache Spark or Apache Storm. By utilizing the Kafka Streams API within an application, data processing occurs directly inside Kafka, eliminating the need to route data to an external cluster.

During this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to incorporate Kafka Streams into sample Java applications that transfer data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Gaining an understanding of Kafka Streams features and its advantages compared to other stream processing frameworks
• Processing stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Developing a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Writing concise code to transform input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Building, packaging, and deploying the application

Audience

• Developers

Format of the course

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