Apache Kafka: Hands-On Training
Course 1266
- Duration: 2 days
- Labs: Yes
- Language: English
- Level: Foundation
This Apache Kafka course provides hands-on experience with Apache Kafka both from the command line and through programmatic access using Java. Attendees will get a full appreciation of the publish/subscribe idiom for asynchronous communication: the course producers and consumers and reliable data delivery. Attendees will get a full appreciation of how to build data pipelines and how they can process streaming data.
Kafka is an event streaming platform. Businesses and organizations often must capture data in real time from event sources like databases, sensors, mobile devices, cloud services, social media, and software applications in the form of streams of events. They need to store these event streams durably for later retrieval. They must also manipulate, process, and react to the event streams in real time and retrospectively. The event streams must be made available to different destination technologies as needed. Kafka's event streaming implementation ensures a continuous flow and interpretation of data so that the correct information is at the right place and time.
