Overview

Course Description

Harness the power of continuous data processing by building high-performance, event-driven applications with the Apache Kafka® Streams API and ksqlDB. Learn to design scalable, stateful stream architectures that execute low-latency joins, windowed aggregations, and real-time transformations. Transform reactive batch workflows into continuous data pipelines that deliver immediate operational insights and maximize business value.

Skills Gained

Course Objectives 

The lessons and activities in this course enable participants to build the skills to: 

  • Identify common patterns and use cases for real-time stream processing
  • Describe the high-level architecture of Apache Kafka Streams 
  • Write real-time applications with the Kafka Streams API to filter, transform, enrich, aggregate, and join data streams 
  • Describe how Kafka Streams provide elastic, fault-tolerant and high-performance stream processing capabilities 
  • Test, secure, deploy, and monitor Kafka Streams applications

 

Hands-on Training 

Throughout the course, hands-on exercises reinforce the topics being discussed. Exercises include: 

  • Scaling a Kafka Streams Application 
  • Anatomy of a Kafka Streams Application
  • Working With JSON 
  • Windowing & Aggregation 
  • Joining Two Streams 
  • Using the Processor API 
  • Integration Tests Using Embedded Kafka
  • Using JConsole to Monitor a Streams App 
  • Securing a Kafka Streams Application

Who Can Benefit

This course is designed for application developers, architects, DevOps engineers, and data scientists who need to interact with Kafka clusters to create real-time applications using Kafka Streams for filtering, transforming, enriching, aggregating, and joining data streams to discover anomalies, analyze behavior, or monitor complex systems.

Prerequisites

Attendees should be familiar with developing professional apps in Java (preferred), .NET, C#, Python, or another major programming language. Attendees should also have a working knowledge of the Kafka client development. Participants are required to provide a laptop computer with unobstructed internet access to fully participate in the class.

Reviews

Course was thorough and gave a very solid grounding in the tools advertised.

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.

Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.

The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
