This tutorial gives you a friendly intro to Apache Kafka—covering what it is, why it exists, how it outperforms other message brokers, and a simple real-world use case. Then you’ll dive into a hands-on Python + Docker demo: spin up Kafka with Docker Compose, write a producer and consumer in Python, play around with the Kafka CLI, and test the full messaging flow start to finish.
Grab the GitLab repo for all the code, skim Confluent’s official docs, and follow the linked Python, Docker, and Kafka pre-reqs if you need a quick refresher. It’s the one-stop course you need to build a production-ready Kafka pipeline without drowning in theory.
