This video walks you through Apache Kafka from the ground up—why it was built, how it handles massive throughput, and how it compares to other message brokers—then shows you how to build a real-world Python app using Docker Compose. You’ll set up a producer, fire up Kafka, explore the CLI, write a consumer, and test the entire flow with clear, timestamped steps.
All code lives in a GitLab repo, and official Confluent docs are linked for deeper reading. If you’re new to Python or Docker, there are prereq video links to get you up to speed. Plus, grab a free month of PyCharm Pro thanks to JetBrains, and download the DevOps Roadmap PDF for the full modern tech stack.
