Explore how change data capture enables real-time data synchronization within an event-driven architecture using CDC agents, Kafka Connect, and data virtualization to support reporting and BI from multiple sources.
Explore high availability, durability, and scalability in event-driven architectures, comparing Kafka, Kinesis, and RabbitMQ for handling millions of events, with serverless options and Kubernetes tradeoffs.
Explore how to set up a Kafka producer to send messages in an event-driven architecture, using Kafka Streams and functional programming operators to build a data pipeline.
Explore Apache Kafka as an engine with dockerized setup, Kafka UI, topics and producers and consumers, plus Kafka Streams and KTable concepts for building event-driven architectures.
Explore retry strategies and failure handling in event driven architectures, including idempotency, poison pills, and dead letter queues in RabbitMQ and Kafka.
Learn how the outbox pattern mitigates dual-write challenges in event-driven architectures by persisting events in a database table and asynchronously publishing them to Kafka.
Explore event-driven architecture by structuring a modular project with directory or package layouts, an api layer, and a core business logic wired to infrastructure and libraries.
Learn why and how event driven architecture enables streaming with Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ, detailing event payloads, headers, metadata, immutability, and traceability through correlation IDs and timestamps.
Modernize legacy systems by migrating to a modern architecture with an exposed data boundary and APIs and event streams, using asynchronous processing and change data capture with Kafka.
Master the enterprise-grade patterns and practices that power modern distributed systems. This comprehensive course takes you from understanding the limitations of traditional request-response architectures to implementing production-ready event-driven solutions used by industry leaders.
Why Event-Driven Architecture Matters Now
In today's landscape of cloud-native applications like microservices, real-time data processing, synchronous request-response models create bottlenecks that limit scalability, introduce tight coupling, and compromise system resilience. Event-Driven Architecture eliminates these constraints, enabling systems that are loosely coupled, highly scalable, and capable of processing events asynchronously across distributed components.
This course bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. You'll understand not just what EDA is, but why leading tech companies rely on it for mission-critical systems, when to apply specific patterns, and how to avoid common pitfalls that derail projects.
Comprehensive, Hands-On Learning
You'll gain hands-on experience with critical messaging platforms—RabbitMQ and Apache Kafka—understanding the architectural trade-offs between message queuing and event streaming. Through practical exercises, you'll build real systems, configure message brokers, implement complex event flows, and apply battle-tested patterns that solve real-world distributed system challenges including data consistency, system failures, and message ordering.
By course completion, you'll architect resilient, scalable systems that handle millions of events, design event schemas that evolve gracefully, implement sophisticated failure recovery mechanisms, and make informed decisions about technology choices backed by Architectural Decision Records (ADRs). You'll gain the confidence to lead EDA initiatives, evaluate architectural proposals, and build systems that meet enterprise reliability and performance standards.
