Developing Event-Driven Applications with Apache Kafka and Red Hat AMQ Streams

Overview

Course description

Develop, scale, and troubleshoot event-driven microservice applications.

Learn to use Kafka and AMQ Streams to design, develop, and test event-driven applications. Event-driven microservices scale globally, store and stream process data, and provide low-latency feedback to customers. This course is for application developers and is based on Red Hat AMQ Streams 1.8 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.6.

Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a four day virtual class or self-paced. Durations may vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location then “get started” on the right hand menu.

    Outline for this course

    Designing Event-Driven Applications
    Describe the principles of event-driven applications.
    Introducing Kafka and AMQ Streams Concepts
    Build applications with basic read-and-write messaging capabilities.
    Building Applications with the Streams API
    Leverage the Streams API to create data streaming applications.
    Creating Asynchronous Services with Event Collaboration

    Outcomes

    Impact on the organization

    • Organizations are recognizing that traditional synchronous applications are not able to scale consistently and adjust to the massive amounts of data from customers while still meeting customers’ expectations of immediate results. With event-driven applications using Kafka and AMQ Streams, organizations can expect to be able to globally scale their applications, store and stream process data, and provide feedback to customers with extremely low latency.

    Impact of this training

    • As a result of attending this course, students will understand the architecture of Kafka and AMQ Streams and will be able to identify proper use cases for event-driven applications. In addition to learning the fundamental principles and features of Kafka and AMQ Streams, Students will learn how to design, develop, and test event-driven applications.
    • Students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:
      • Design, build, and use event-driven applications for relevant scenarios with standard patterns.
      • Detect and react to data changes with Debezium to improve application performance.
      • Troubleshoot common problems with event-driven applications.
