Course Description

Understanding Apache Kafka

In this course, you'll start by learning the fundamental purpose and components of an Apache Kafka installation. This initial phase introduces you to Kafka topics, the backbone of Kafka's data structure. You'll gain hands-on experience with producers, which write data to Kafka, and consumers, which read data from Kafka, ensuring you understand the basic data flow within a Kafka ecosystem.

Diving Deeper into Kafka's Architecture

The course progresses by diving deeper into Kafka's architecture and the underlying software components. You'll explore the roles of Kafka servers and brokers and understand how they interact within a cluster. You'll also learn to manage clusters using ZooKeeper, a critical component for maintaining Kafka's distributed nature. This section equips you with the knowledge to set up and maintain a robust Kafka environment.

Kafka Management and Troubleshooting

As you move further, the course provides in-depth knowledge on creating and managing Kafka topics, essential for organizing and handling data streams effectively. Additionally, you'll learn about various tools and methods to troubleshoot common issues encountered while working with Kafka. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Kafka, from basic concepts to advanced management techniques, ready to apply in real-world scenarios.
