Kafka for Application Developers


Course Number: DVOP-166WA
Duration: 2 days (13 hours)
Format: Live, hands-on

Kafka Training Overview

Apache Kafka is a robust and scalable messaging platform over which microservices interact using an event-driven architecture.

This Kafka training course teaches attendees how to create and consume messages through Kafka’s APIs. Attendees learn how to use the two dominant components of the Kafka ecosystem to interact with Kafka: Kafka Connect for integration with third-party systems and Kafka Streams for creating serverless streaming applications.
