About This Course
Kafka Connect - Learn How to Source Twitter Data, Store in Apache Kafka Topics & Sink in ElasticSearch and PostgreSQL
A Comprehensive and Brand New Course for Learning Apache Kafka Connect Framework with Hands-on Training – (Launched in April 2017)
Kafka Connect is a tool for scalable and reliable streaming data between Apache Kafka and other data systems. Apache Kafka Connect is a common framework for Apache Kafka producers and consumers.
Apache Kafka Connect offers an API, Runtime, and REST Service to enable developers to define connectors that move large data sets into and out of Apache Kafka in real time. It inherits strong concepts such as fault-tolerance and elasticity thanks to being an extension of Apache Kafka. Kafka Connect can ingest entire databases, collect metrics, gather logs from all your application servers into Apache Kafka topics, making the data available for stream processing with low latency.
Kafka Connect standardises integration of other data systems with Apache Kafka, simplifying connector development, deployment, and management.
In this course, we are going to learn the Kafka Connector deployment, configuration and management with hands-on exercises. We are also going to see the distributed and standalone modes to scale up to a large, centrally managed service supporting an entire organisation or scale down to development, testing, and small production deployments. The REST interface to submit and manage connectors to your Kafka Connect cluster via an easy to use REST API’s.

Tin Pavlinic says “This course is an excellent resource for those getting started with Apache Kafka-Connect. Stephane explains concepts very clearly and provides plenty of practical examples. The setup is easy. You can follow the examples along on your own machine, and then experiment further. I highly recommend this Apache Kafka course.”
Alan V says "This course is GREAT: 1. The teacher provides clear explanations of the role to Kafka Connector in Kafka Streaming Solution architecture. 2. The course uses docker-compose.yml to help learners quick build a practice environment. 3. The course is well organized and easy to understand the idea, behind Kafka Connector. The teacher guides you how to use the tool step by step. 4. The provided shell commands are all well commented and steps by steps to guide users. If you read the comments in the shell script files after the course, it will remind you what the teacher just taught in the videos. 5. The teacher is very responsible to learners' questions and very helpful. If you are a professional developer, I highly recommend you to attend this course."
Sagar Joshi says "It was very engaging and interesting course. I recommend taking this Apache Kafka course. Stephane has provided all the required details and its really a hands-on training course. Thank you..!!"

Very good and detailed course. I especially enjoyed the creating our own Kafka Connector bit. The only downside was I had to watch the Twitter bit due to the API no longer being as easily accessible as it once was.

Stephane is an amazing teacher. I learned a lot the last years. Just removing half star because the course is a little bit out-of-date, and some parts are annoying to do without the right context.
I will continue with other courses of Stephane for sure

The instructor is very engaging and knowledgeable. I took the intro precursor intro course previously and learned a lot from it as well. The instructor is excellent at covering what's involved.
One of the most useful things I gained from this course was detailed information of the connect ecosystem, including sources and sinks, where to find them, and very useful references to related documentation in, for example, the Confluent website and other useful sites.
Another thing I liked about the course was its focus on using Docker locally to exercise all of the examples. Docker compose is a great tool for local testing and development and translates well into production deployment scenarios.
Also the sample code included with this course provides some very useful commands relating to source, sink, and Kafka connect itself. The most important takeaway for me was being able to generalize this knowledge to how to use Kafka connect for a variety of general scenarios.

This is a great course for getting started with Kafka Connect. Stephane has structured the course well and guides you through getting setup and how to deploy both source and sink connectors. This course also teaches you how to write your own Kafka Connector and shows how easy it is to get started. Really enjoyed the course - thanks Stephane.

1. The course is about connectors, but Twitter connector doesn't work. If Twitter connector is obsolete and not supported replace it with another connector in lecture. It is not good when you can't reproduce what is shown in lecture.
2. Lecture about writing Own Kafka Connector is complicated even I have experience in Java.
