ABOUT THIS COURSE

Kafka Streams is a Java library designed to develop applications and microservices tailored for real-time data stream processing. Harnessing Kafka’s capabilities, applications constructed using Kafka Streams exhibit exceptional scalability and fault tolerance. This versatile tool finds applications in various scenarios and domains. The course starts with an introduction to Kafka Streams. Next, you will learn important Kafka concepts and gain experience using Kafka CLI tools. Then, you will learn how to build complex Kafka Streams topologies using stateless operators, error handling, and stateful operations. Finally, you will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams in Spring Boot applications, including using Spring’s monitoring and metrics capabilities. After completing this course, you can build data-intensive real-time stream processing applications and microservices using Kafka Streams, enabling you to build powerful, resilient, and scalable products.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
