About This Course

This course is comprised of modules that focus on messaging, real-time processing, management, and analytics of streaming data on the Cloudera DataFlow (CDF) platform. Currently, the modules consist of foundational content for Apache Kafka that provide an understanding of streams processing that include the basics of messaging, as well as more advanced messaging concepts using Java for developing Kafka applications. The course also covers Kafka security features and associated configuration.

Over time, the course modules will grow to include additional management and analytics modules that focus on Kafka administration, Streams Messaging Manager, Schema Registry, and Kafka Streams.
