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).
