Participants should plan to attend both days of this 2-day training course. To attend training courses, you must register for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Tuesday.

Jesse Anderson offers an in-depth look at Apache Kafka. You'll learn how Kafka works and how to create real-time systems with it as well as how to create consumers and publishers. Jesse then walks you through Kafka’s ecosystem, demonstrating how to use tools like Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, and KSQL.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

  • Learn how to create large-scale real-time systems using Apache Kafka
  • Understand how real-time distributed systems are different from batch systems
  • Discover how to create Kafka producers and consumers
  • Learn how to use Apache Avro with Kafka for truly enterprise-grade solutions
  • Learn how to use Kafka Streams to create data pipelines
  • Learn how to configure Kafka Connect to put data into and take out of Kafka
  • See how to use your existing SQL skills with KSQL
  • Understand best practices and common architectural patterns when creating solutions with Kafka

This training is for you because...

  • You're a software engineer, data engineer, or data scientist.

Prerequisites:

  • A working knowledge of Java
  • Familiarity with big data technologies (useful but not required)

Hardware and/or installation requirements:

  • A laptop (at least 3 GB of free RAM, 10 GB of free disk space, and a 64-bit processor with VT-X enabled) with VirtualBox installed

The class won’t push your knowledge of Java syntax. The code is mostly straightforward.

Hi Jesse,
Hope you’re doing great.
I am data scientist and I am planing to attend the Professional Kafka development training. Is a strong Java skill a requirement for the training (I have a very basic knowledge)?
Thank you,
Abdeljalil
