Master quick start with Confluent Cloud by creating a basic cluster and topic, then use the CLI to set up producers and consumers.
Explore ksqlDB, a real-time event streaming database built on Apache Kafka, and how it links streaming data to a relational SQL model, with REST, code, and Confluent Cloud UI interactions.
Explore Kafka streams, a Java library that abstracts producer to topic to consumer flows into concise code, enabling filtering, joining, and aggregation for meaningful analytics.
Explore Kafka Connect, a core Apache Kafka component that enables streaming integration with external services via connectors for sources and data syncs, including Amazon S3.
Create a Python producer to send messages to a topic. Set up the topic in the control cluster, publish messages, and configure a consumer to start consuming in Confluent.
Produce messages to a Kafka cluster by converting files from Windows to Unix, running the producer, and sending ten messages with keys and values to the books topic.
Configure and run the streaming Pacman app by updating the demo.cft with AWB access key and secret, then run the start script to provision Confluent Cloud resources via Terraform.
Set up the prerequisites for the Apache Kafka and Confluent Cloud course by provisioning Confluent Cloud and AWS accounts, creating S3 buckets, and installing Terraform, Java 11+, and Maven.
Welcome to the Confluent Cloud Introductory Course. Confluent employs the use of Apache Kafka to stream events in real-time, which has become a necessity for the majority of Fortune 500 companies. Real-Time Event Streaming is the means through which many companies are making decisions at the right times and are avoiding significant financial losses. We cover the introductory part for each of them with fundamental concepts covered with use case examples. This course is designed for students who are at their initial stage in learning Cloud Computing and Event Streaming and is best suited for those who want to start their career in this area.
This course focuses on what Confluent is and how it can be used to stream events and data in real time. It also includes Practical Hands-On Lab Exercises which cover a major part in Deploying and Orchestrating Applications.
We use a combination of the CMD line /Terminal Interface and Programming to launch any Application of your choice as a Microservice Architecture. The Programming Part mainly includes writing shell Scripts and then using Command Line Commands to execute them and get the results we want.
Even if you don’t have any previous experience using any of these technologies, you will still be able to get 100% of the benefit from this course.
