The Kafka Consumer reading was highly informative and provided a comprehensive understanding of how Kafka Consumers operate within a distributed system. It deepened my knowledge of key concepts such as offset management, consumer groups, and load balancing, which are critical for real-world applications. The explanation of Kafka’s role in the broader data processing ecosystem was insightful, showing how it integrates seamlessly with tools like Spark and Flink. Overall, this reading helped clarify Kafka’s significance in managing high-throughput, real-time data streams in a fault-tolerant and scalable manner. A valuable resource for anyone diving into distributed systems or real-time data processing!

Really great coverage of Kafka foundations. Great didactics and clear explanations.

Good fundamental, but stick to Java and Windows environments too much. This should be stated in the course outline.

dovrebbe essere possibile per almeno un corso avere il certificato senza pagare l'abbonamento

I'm very disappointed with this course as it did not provide a real opportunity for hands on development of the code. How many people know Scala? Also the practice assignments were not of good quality. And one very minor point, please pronounce words like p o l l correctly. It does not rhyme with ball but it rhymes with p o l e. Some of the demo code is outdated and will not work. I could not code a Create Partitions in Java using the DefaultPartitioner class because it is deprecated. No replies from staff in the forums. Avoid this course.
