Get ready to demystify Apache Kafka in this all-in-one beginner’s crash course—no fluff, just solid theory on what Kafka is and why it exists, then a step-by-step Python + Docker demo that walks you through spinning up Kafka with Docker Compose, writing producers and consumers, playing with the CLI, and testing the full pipeline. You’ll see how Kafka achieves scalable performance and stacks up against other brokers along the way.
Everything you need is right here: the GitLab repo, official Confluent docs, and handy pre-req tutorials on Python, Docker, and Kafka basics. Plus, thanks to JetBrains you can snag a free month of PyCharm Pro. Full timestamps included so you can jump straight to the juicy bits!
