This instructor-led, live training in Waterloo (online or onsite) is aimed at data engineers, data scientists, and programmers who wish to use Apache Kafka features in data streaming with Python. By the end of this training, participants will be able to use Apache Kafka to monitor and manage conditions in continuous data streams using Python programming.

Kafka Streams is a client-side library for building applications and microservices whose data is passed to and from a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has relied on Apache Spark or Apache Storm to process data between message producers and consumers. By calling the Kafka Streams API from within an application, data can be processed directly within Kafka, bypassing the need for sending the data to a separate cluster for processing. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into a set of sample Java applications that pass data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand Kafka Streams features and advantages over other stream processing frameworks
• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Write a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Write concise code that transforms input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Build, package and deploy the application

Audience

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use Samza to simplify the code needed to produce and consume messages.
• Decouple the handling of messages from an application.
• Use Samza to implement near-realtime asynchronous computation.
• Use stream processing to provide a higher level of abstraction over messaging systems.

Apache Storm is a distributed, real-time computation engine used for enabling real-time business intelligence. It does so by enabling applications to reliably process unbounded streams of data (a.k.a. stream processing). "Storm is for real-time processing what Hadoop is for batch processing!" In this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to install and configure Apache Storm, then develop and deploy an Apache Storm application for processing big data in real-time. Some of the topics included in this training include:

• Apache Storm in the context of Hadoop
• Working with unbounded data
• Continuous computation
• Real-time analytics
• Distributed RPC and ETL processing

Apache Beam is an open source, unified programming model for defining and executing parallel data processing pipelines. It's power lies in its ability to run both batch and streaming pipelines, with execution being carried out by one of Beam's supported distributed processing back-ends: Apache Apex, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow. Apache Beam is useful for ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks such as moving data between different storage media and data sources, transforming data into a more desirable format, and loading data onto a new system. In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to implement the Apache Beam SDKs in a Java or Python application that defines a data processing pipeline for decomposing a big data set into smaller chunks for independent, parallel processing. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Beam.
• Use a single programming model to carry out both batch and stream processing from withing their Java or Python application.
• Execute pipelines across multiple environments.
