This beginner-friendly Apache Kafka crash course walks you through both the why and the how: you’ll learn what Kafka is, why it was built, how it achieves rock-solid scalability, and how it compares to other message brokers. Then you’ll roll up your sleeves and build a Python app that produces and consumes messages via Kafka—all orchestrated with Docker Compose for a realistic, hands-on project.
You’ll get direct links to the Git repo, official docs, and prep materials (Python, Docker, Docker Compose) plus handy timestamps so you can jump straight to setup, writing producers and consumers, using the Kafka CLI, and testing the full pipeline. Perfect for anyone ready to kickstart production-grade streaming systems!
