Modern applications—from ride-sharing maps to social-media feeds—must react the instant something happens. Achieving that speed and reliability means shifting from request/response calls to an event-driven, message-queue model. This masterclass demystifies Apache Kafka—the de-facto open-source event platform used at LinkedIn, Uber, Netflix, Shopify, and countless others—and shows how both junior and senior engineers can design, build, and scale real-time backends with confidence.
- Need for a Queue – What really happens when you skip a broker: tight coupling, cascading failures, and lost retries.
- Kafka Fundamentals – Topics, partitions, consumer groups, retention, and exactly-once options explained in plain English.
- Real-World Patterns – How LinkedIn streams profile events, Uber crunches ride telemetry, and Netflix synchronizes thousands of micro-services.
- Hands-On Blueprint – Produce, consume, process, and replay events in a minimal pipeline you can clone after class.
- Growth Path – Next steps for juniors (Docker + one topic) and seniors (multi-cluster, cross-region replication, stream processing).
With over 4 years of experience as a seasoned software engineer, he combines technical expertise and leadership to build scalable, high-performance applications using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and other modern technologies. Passionate about mentoring and technical content creation, he strives to make technology more accessible while continuously exploring emerging advancements in the field—when not coding or strategizing, he can often be found cheering for his favorite football team.
