Learning Apache Kafka 2nd Edition

This book is here to help you get familiar with Apache Kafka and to solve your challenges related to the consumption of millions of messages in publisher-subscriber architectures. It is aimed at getting you started programming with Kafka so that you will have a solid foundation to dive deep into different types of implementations and integrations for Kafka producers and consumers. In addition to an explanation of Apache Kafka, we also spend a chapter exploring Kafka integration with other technologies such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Storm. Our goal is to give you an understanding not just of what Apache Kafka is, but also how to use it as a part of your broader technical infrastructure. In the end, we will walk you through operationalizing Kafka where we will also talk about administration.
