Look inside
Enter course descriptionChill+, the nextgen streaming platform you work for, is scaling out its Kubernetes cluster to meet the demands of its increasing popularity. As a software engineer, your job is to devise a plan for managing the company’s infrastructure costs which are rising as fast as its success. Your solution is to reduce resource consumption by implementing crucial interservice communication. To make this communication asynchronous, which provides the benefit of decoupled request/response temporality while improving communication performance, you’ll use a Kafka producer to integrate with another service, and you’ll use Quarkus SmallRye Reactive Messaging Kafka Connector to produce and consume data. When you’re done, Chill+’s catalog service will provide quicker, more accurate recommendations to its customers while decreasing Chill+’s infrastructure costs.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for software engineers with basic experience with cloud-native patterns and building Java applications. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic understanding of using Maven to build a Java-based application
- Basic understanding of Docker containers
- Basic understanding of Apache Kafka protocol
- Develop small API-oriented applications using Java frameworks (Spring, Micronaut, Jakarta EE, Vert.x)
- Use Quarkus CDI annotations (@ApplicationScoped, @Produces, @Inject)
- Develop Java tests using JUnit, Mockito, and test containers
- Ability to connect to a Apache Kafka cluster and read/write from/to a topic
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to implement asynchronous interservice communication by integrating with another microservice using Apache Kafka.
- Install the Apache Kafka-related extensions
