Kafka Crash Course – Hands-On Project walks you through the “what, why, and how” of Apache Kafka, from its core concepts and scalability magic to real-world use cases that set it apart from other message brokers. You’ll get a quick rundown on why Kafka exists, how it achieves blazing performance, and even a side-by-side comparison with traditional systems.
Then it’s boots-on-the-ground time: you’ll spin up Kafka with Docker Compose, scaffold a Python project in PyCharm, write both producer and consumer clients, play with the Kafka CLI, and finally test the full pipeline end-to-end. All code is available on GitLab, plus you get links to official docs and starter tutorials on Python and Docker if you need a refresher.
