Kafka For Data Engineers
In this hands-on training course we will learn how to deploy and interact with Apache Kafka clusters in order to deploy reliable streaming and real time data solutions.
Course Overview
Apache Kafka is the leading data streaming platform which allows you to publish, distribute and consume streams of data with high performance, scalability and reliability. It is a key component for businesses which are looking to build real time user experiences, and to move from batch data processes to modern streaming architectures.
In this course we will learn how to operate and interact with Kafka, including publishing and consuming data and optimising your cluster for performance. We will also look at some of the supporting tools in the Kafka and Confluent ecosystem such as Kafka Streams.
