Stream Processing with Kafka Streams

 7 Hours

Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that process data within the Kafka messaging system. Historically, Apache Kafka has often relied on frameworks like Apache Spark or Apache Storm to handle data processing between producers and consumers. However, by utilizing the Kafka Streams API directly within an application, data can be processed internally within Kafka, eliminating the need to send it 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 exchange data with Apache Kafka for stream processing.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the features and advantages of Kafka Streams over other stream processing frameworks
  • Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
  • Develop Java or Scala applications or microservices that integrate with Kafka and Kafka Streams
  • Write efficient code that transforms input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
  • Build, package, and deploy the application

Audience

  • Developers
