Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use the Kafka distributed streaming data platform to help convert a legacy order fulfillment system to a sleek new asynchronous event-driven architecture. This architecture needs to deliver services that can scale and evolve independently, to speed up your clients eCommerce app. You’ll use the Go language to build a microservice, an event publisher, and multiple event consumers; and work with Kafka’s command-line tools to create, alter, and test topics.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
