Kafka Streams API For Developers using Java/SpringBoot

Description

Kafka Streams API is an advanced API that’s part of the Kafka Ecosystem.

Using Kafka Streams API, we can :

Apply data transformations,
Data enrichment,
Branching the data into multiple data streams.
Aggregating the data or joining data from multiple Kafka topics.
Aggregate the Data into Window Buckets and more.

The Kafka Streams API For Developers using Java/SpringBoot course is structured to give you both the theoretical and coding experience of developing Kafka Streams Applications using Streams API and also covers the techniques to use Enterprise Standard Kafka Streams Application using SpringBoot and Streams API .

This is a pure hands-on oriented course where you will be learning the concepts through code. You will build a realtime Kafka Streams application by the end of this course.

By the end of this course, you will have a complete understanding of these concepts:

Building Kafka Streams Applications using Streams API

Write Interactive Queries to retrieve the aggregated data from a state store and expose it via RESTFUL API.
Unit and Integration Testing Kafka Streams Applications using JUnit5
