Description
Have you ever wondered how large organizations such as Netflix or LinkedIn handle the trillions of daily events without running into scaling bottlenecks? Kafka is a distributed event streaming technology capable of solving this scaling problem. Moreover, this can be achieved dynamically and with minimal overhead. Kafka has established itself as a trusted tool and is used by over 80% of Fortune 100 companies.
In this workshop, you will
- learn what Kafka is and why it has become so popular over the last few years
- understand the challenges that enterprises face when scaling their services and infrastructure and how Kafka solves this problem
- code your own Kafka application
We are also on the lookout for helpers and helping will be worth your time. Please check out the helpertool.
