Implementing an Event Log with Kafka
Kafka is one of the most widely-used platforms for building resilient and complex modern applications. This course will teach you how to build complex event-driven microservices using Kafka as a backbone of your application.
What you'll learn
In this course, Implementing an Event Log with Kafka, you will gain the ability to build complex microservice architectures around immutable events stored in Kafka. First, you’ll explore what issues you can encounter when migrating an application to a microsevices architecture. Next, you’ll master Kafka fundamentals and will learn how they allow you to address common issues in microservices applications. Finally, you'll learn advanced architectural patterns to work with data in Kafka. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to implement complex event-driven applications using Kafka.
