Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Apache Kafka is a popular event streaming platform used by Fortune 100 companies for both real-time and batch data processing. In this course, you will explore the characteristics of event streaming and how Kafka architecture allows for scalable streaming data. Install Kafka and create some topics, which are essentially channels of communication between apps and data. Set up and work with multiple topics for durable storage. Create multiple brokers and cluster of nodes to handle messages and store their replicas. Then, monitor the settings and logs for those brokers. Finally, see how topic partitions and replicas provide redundancy and maintain high availability.
