Apache Kafka serves as a distributed streaming platform and has become the industry standard for developing data pipelines. It addresses a wide array of data processing scenarios, functioning as a message queue, distributed log, stream processor, and more.

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

In this instructor-led, live training in the UAE (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.

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 suitable 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, and more.
• Integrate the most appropriate stream processing library with enterprise applications and microservices.

This course is designed for enterprise architects, software developers, system administrators, and professionals seeking to master high-throughput distributed messaging systems. While the curriculum covers a broad range of topics, it can be customized to focus on specific areas, such as system administration, to better align with your particular requirements.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that interact with the Apache Kafka messaging system. Historically, data processing between producers and consumers in Apache Kafka relied on external tools like Apache Spark or Apache Storm. However, by utilizing the Kafka Streams API within an application, data can be processed directly within the Kafka environment, eliminating the need to transfer data to a separate cluster for computation.

In this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into sample Java applications that exchange data with Apache Kafka for real-time stream processing.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the features and advantages of Kafka Streams compared to other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Develop Java or Scala applications or microservices that integrate with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Write concise code to transform input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Build, package, and deploy the application

Audience

• Developers
