Kafka Onsite Training Course

Kafka Training - Onsite, Instructor-led

Training for DevOps, Architects and Developers

This Kafka course teaches the basics of the Apache Kafka distributed streaming platform. The Apache Kafka distributed streaming platform is one of the most powerful and widely used reliable streaming platforms. Kafka is a fault tolerant, highly scalable and used for log aggregation, stream processing, event sources and commit logs. Kafka is used by LinkedIn, Yahoo, Twitter, Square, Uber, Box, PayPal, Etsy and more to enable stream processing, online messaging, facilitate in-memory computing by providing a distributed commit log, data collection for big data and so much more.

This course provides a technical introduction to all the conceptual and practical areas needed to use the Kafka Streaming Platform successfully, and deploy to production.

It is written expressly for Developers who must develop and DevOps who must deploy with an emphasis on AWS deployments. The course provides a solid foundation in the architecture ok Kafka and how to work with it.

After taking this course, you will be ready to work with Kafka in an informed and productive manner.

We provide more than just developer training. We provide the training to maximize your developer and DevOps expertise.

In this three to four day hands-on course, developers, and DevOps learn how to build applications that can publish data to and subscribe to data from, a Kafka cluster. They learn about the setup and maintenance of that cluster.

Kafka Microservices

Kafka is a key-ingredient in microservices development. It helps move you away from slow and unresponsive shared-state architectures with its abundance of cascading failures to in-memory actors systems done in Kafka streams, QBit and Akka. We can show you how to set up the Kafka streaming platform as part of your high-speed, reactive microservices architecture. Technology stacks like Kafka, Akka and QBit are the backbone for event driven microservices.

Let us help you set up a solid foundation in the architecture and data model of the Kafka Streaming Platform and how to deploy it correctly based on your use cases to AWS.

Why choose us and our Kafka Course

We have successfully deployed the streaming solutions at large fortune 100s and very high traffic web properties. We have the experience to deploy and monitor Kafka clusters running on AWS EC2. We have been there and done that and understand when and where streaming platforms makes sense and how to avoid common pitfalls.

AWS Kafka and Kafka as a Service

Our company is set up to support tools like Kafka running in AWS EC2. We have deployed 100 million user microservices in AWS using streaming solutions. We provide Kafka support, AMI images for Kafka, CloudFormation templates, and tools for collecting metrics and logs to support Kafka in AWS via CloudWatch. Supporting Kafka in production in AWS, EC2, and S3 is what we do.
