Streaming Data Pipelines with Apache Kafka teaches you to build the kind of rapid, reliable data pipelines that can deliver real-time insights from your data. You’ll follow along with an extended case study as Excellent Toys Corporation's data team migrates from batch processing to their very first streaming pipelines. Dive into custom connector development, extracting real-time changes from an HTTP-based Analytics API, and delve into event-driven, real-time processing with Kafka Streams. With guidance on packaging, deploying, and error handling, you'll soon be equipped to build and deploy streaming data pipelines in production environments.
