Kafka Crash Course – Hands-On Project
Get up and running with Apache Kafka in this end-to-end tutorial that blends theory and practice. You’ll learn what Kafka is, why it was built, how it scales, and how it stacks up against other message brokers—all before jumping into a real Python + Docker demo. Follow along as you spin up Kafka with Docker Compose, write producers and consumers in Python, use the CLI, then test and gracefully shut everything down.
Along the way you get a curated list of resources (official docs, Git repo), prerequisites (Python, Docker, Docker Compose basics) and handy timestamps to skip right to the parts you need. Perfect if you’ve got a bit of Python and Docker under your belt and want to master Kafka hands-on.
