Description

Apache Kafka was built with the vision to become the central nervous system that makes real-time data available to all the applications that need to use it, with numerous use cases like stock trading and fraud detection, to transportation, data integration, and real-time analytics.

This course provides an overview of what Kafka is, what it’s used for, and the core concepts that enable it to power a highly scalable, available and resilient real-time event streaming platform. The series begins with an introduction to the shift toward real-time data streaming, and continues all the way through to best practices for developing applications with Apache Kafka, how to integrate Kafka into your environment and the use of Confluent Platform.
