Description
This course is for all things Kafka, Java, Spring and Spring Boot!This course will take you as a developer who knows just the basics on Spring Boot and Java to being able to develop a fully functional, fully tested, application that connects with the Kafka messaging broker in order to send and receive messages.In fact with our comprehensive code walkthroughs that start from scratch in writing our Spring Boot application you would be able to put together the application with no previous Spring Boot experience!This course has been developed by a team of highly experienced Java Software Engineers and Kafka consultants working closely with John Thompson, the Spring Framework Guru - we understand what a developer needs from such a course - it has been designed with the Java developer in mind to be able to gain the most from it.All the code that we walk through is available in the included git repositories for you to use as a starting point for your work, or for you to fork and extend as you begin to explore Kafka further. Along the way there are assignments enabling you to put in practice what you have been learning, to build out a fully rounded microservices architecture. We have accompanying articles on many of the Kafka concepts covered in the course - these go into greater depth providing you the opportunity to continue your learning and gain an advanced understanding on these areas.Inside this course you will learn аbout:Kafka Background and Concepts:The Kafka messaging brokerAll the key Kafka concepts including messages, keys, topics, partitions and offsetsThe need for asynchronous communicationComparison with other popular messaging brokersZookeeper vs KRaftConsumer groups and rebalancingMessage ordering with message keysInstalling and Running Kafka:Installing and running the broker locallyUsing the Kafka command line toolsSending and receiving messagesSpring Boot Application Development with Spring Kafka:Creating the Spring Boot application with Spring InitializrSpring Kafka APIsConsuming messages using the KafkaListener, KafkaListenerContainerFactory and ConsumerFactoryProducing messages using the KafkaTemplate and ProducerFactoryUtilising Spring Kafka annotations leaving Spring to do the heavy liftingUnit testing the Kafka consumer and producer with JUnit and MockitoIntegration testing with Spring Boot Test, Spring Kafka Test, and the embedded Kafka brokerSerializing and deserializing String and JSON messagesAvoiding poison pills with the correct error handlingConfiguring Kafka Spring Beans programmatically vs in the application propertiesManual and automatic topic creationConsumer group membership with shared vs duplicated message consumptionConsumer failover with multiple Spring Boot instancesSending and receiving message keysEnsuring related messages are orderedConsuming multiple event types from the same topicConfiguring trusted packagesRetrying failed messagesRouting messages to the dead letter topicUsing Wiremock to trigger error scenariosCourse Extra - IntelliJ IDEA UltimateStudents enrolling in the course can receive a free 4 month trial license to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate!
