If you’re interested in Big Data, then Apache Kafka is a must-know tool. 

What started as an internal LinkedIn project to streamline data transmission and propagation among services has quickly grown to become a mainstay platform for building highly scalable data pipelines. Meet Apache Kafka - the ubiquitous tool to build pipelines for diverse use cases ranging from chronologically tracking user-activity on a website to implementing publish-subscribe feeds. 

This course introduces you to Kafka theory and provides you with a hands-on interactive browser-terminal to execute Kafka commands against a running Kafka broker.
