Streaming Data Pipeline from Confluent Kafka to AWS MYSQL DB

In this hands-on course, participants will follow along step-by-step to build a real-time streaming data pipeline that sends data from Confluent Kafka to AWS Lambda and finally into an AWS RDS MySQL Database. This course is designed to provide practical, real-world skills by walking through each component of the architecture, ensuring that learners not only understand the concepts but also apply them directly in a cloud environment.

On the AWS side, participants will gain experience working with several important services, including AWS IAM for securing resources, AWS Secrets Manager for managing sensitive credentials, and AWS CloudWatch for monitoring and logging the data pipeline in action. These services are essential for building secure, scalable, and reliable applications in the cloud.

On the Confluent Kafka side, learners will set up a fully managed Kafka cluster, create topics for message streaming, and configure a fully managed Source Connector to simulate real-world data ingestion. This gives participants valuable exposure to enterprise-grade Kafka infrastructure without the overhead of managing the platform themselves.

By the end of this course, participants will have built a working, scalable pipeline, gained insights into cloud-native architectures, and acquired hands-on experience that can be directly applied to real-world projects or professional roles.

This course is suitable for budding Cloud Engineers, mid level Data Engineers, Product Owners, Product Mangers, Scrum Masters and Technology Leaders looking to get a hands-on experience of building a Real time Streaming Data Pipeline.
