Stream Processing with Kafka Streams

 7 Hours
Kafka Streams is a client-side library for building applications and microservices whose data is passed to and from a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has relied on Apache Spark or Apache Storm to process data between message producers and consumers. By calling the Kafka Streams API from within an application, data can be processed directly within Kafka, bypassing the need for sending the data to a separate cluster for processing. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into a set of sample Java applications that pass data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
  • Understand Kafka Streams features and advantages over other stream processing frameworks
  • Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
  • Write a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
  • Write concise code that transforms input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
  • Build, package and deploy the application
Audience
  • Developers
Format of the course
  • Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
