Apache Kafka Crash Course for Beginners
Kickstart your Kafka journey in this hands-on tutorial where you’ll learn what Kafka is, why it exists, and how it solves real-world messaging challenges. We’ll set up a Python project, spin up Kafka with Docker Compose, and build both a producer and a consumer step-by-step—complete with CLI tricks and a graceful shutdown demo.
Along the way, grab bonus resources like the GitLab repo, official Kafka docs, and a free PyCharm Pro trial to follow along smoothly. Timestamps guide you through every segment, from core concepts (00:40) to testing the full pipeline (01:01:05), so you can jump right to what you need. Enjoy!
