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 as a message queue, a distributed log, a stream processor, and more.

The course begins with an exploration of the theoretical foundations of data pipelines, followed by an in-depth look at Kafka's core concepts. We will also examine essential components such as Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect.

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

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure various Stream Processing frameworks, including Spark Streaming and Kafka Streaming.
• Understand and choose the most suitable framework for specific requirements.
• Process data continuously, concurrently, and on a record-by-record basis.
• Integrate Stream Processing solutions with existing databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and other systems.
• Integrate the most appropriate stream processing library with enterprise applications and microservices.

Designed for enterprise architects, developers, and system administrators, this course enables participants to master the implementation and management of high-throughput distributed messaging systems. The curriculum can be customized to address specific professional needs, such as focusing exclusively on system administration tasks.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or on-site) is aimed at beginner-level, intermediate-level, and advanced-level system administrators and operations engineers who wish to use Apache Kafka to deploy, secure, monitor, and troubleshoot Kafka clusters.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to explain Kafka architecture and KRaft mode, operate and secure Kafka clusters, monitor performance and reliability, and resolve common production issues.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level developers who wish to develop big data applications with Apache Kafka.

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 leveraging the Kafka Streams API within an application, data can be processed directly inside Kafka, eliminating the need to route 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 exchange data with Apache Kafka for stream processing.

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

• Understand the features and advantages of Kafka Streams compared to other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Develop 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
