Kafka Crash Course – Hands-On Project
This tutorial kicks off with the “why” behind Kafka—its design goals, performance magic and how it stacks up against other message brokers—then jumps straight into a hands-on Python + Docker demo. You’ll spin up Kafka via Docker Compose, write a producer and consumer in Python, play with the Kafka CLI and run through a full end-to-end flow step by step.
Along the way you get handy resources like a GitLab repo, official Confluent docs and a DevOps Roadmap PDF for the rest of the stack. Timestamps make it easy to skip around, and there’s even a free month of PyCharm Pro courtesy of JetBrains to keep your code comfy.
