Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform that has become the de facto standard for constructing data pipelines. It addresses a wide array of data processing use cases, functioning effectively as a message queue, distributed log, stream processor, and more.

The course begins with foundational theory on data pipelines, followed by an exploration of Kafka’s core concepts. We will also examine essential components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

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

Upon completion 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 suitable framework for specific tasks.
• Process data continuously, concurrently, and record-by-record.
• 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, and system administrators, as well as anyone interested in learning how to implement and utilize high-throughput distributed messaging systems. If you have specific learning objectives (such as focusing solely on system administration aspects), the course content can be customized to better fit your requirements.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that exchange data with a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has depended on Apache Spark or Apache Storm to process data between message producers and consumers. By utilizing the Kafka Streams API within an application, data can be processed directly within Kafka, eliminating the need to send it to a separate cluster for processing.

In this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into a set of sample Java applications that pass data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing.

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

• Understand Kafka Streams features and advantages over other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Write a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Write concise code that transforms input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Build, package and deploy the application

Audience

• Developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
