This crash course takes you from “What is Kafka?” to a full-on hands-on Python + Docker demo, explaining why Kafka exists, how it scales and how it stacks up against other brokers. You’ll set up a local cluster with Docker Compose, write producers and consumers in Python, poke around with the Kafka CLI and watch the whole pipeline in action—all in about an hour.
Along the way you get links to the GitLab repo, official docs, a free month of PyCharm Pro and a roadmap PDF for building scalable systems. If you’ve already dipped your toes into Python, Docker and messaging concepts, this video walks you through each step in bite-sized chunks (with handy timestamps) so you won’t get lost. Enjoy!
