Overview
In this 4 hr course, you'll master Apache Kafka's Confluent Schema Registry and Kafka REST Proxy to efficiently handle data serialization and interaction in complex messaging systems. You'll learn to write Avro schemas, create producers and consumers, and utilize these tools for robust schema evolution and seamless integration with Kafka.
What I will be able to do after this course
- Create and evolve Avro schemas for lightweight, structured data handling in Kafka.
- Build Java producers and consumers using Avro schemas to fully utilize Kafka messaging.
- Leverage the Confluent Schema Registry to manage and evolve schemas reliably over time.
- Use the Confluent REST Proxy to work with Kafka from non-Java languages using HTTP REST.
- Ensure compatibility in data streams by understanding and applying schema evolution principles.
