Simplifying Data Pipelines with Apache Kafka

The IBM Simplifying Data Pipelines with Apache Kafka program provides essential knowledge related to leveraging Apache Kafka for addressing data engineering needs. Here are the key points covered in this program:

1. Kafka Architecture and Components:
   • Participants gain insights into the architecture and components of Apache Kafka.
   • They understand how Kafka allows geographically distributing data streams and building fault-tolerant, high-throughput, and horizontally scalable data pipelines.
2. Producing and Consuming Messages:
   • The program includes hands-on demonstrations of essential measures necessary to produce and consume messages using command-line tools and Java APIs.
   • Participants learn practical application techniques for working with Kafka Connect and connecting Kafka to Apache Spark.

By completing this program, participants demonstrate their ability to work effectively with Kafka for data engineering tasks, making them valuable contributors to data pipelines. 🌐🚀
