Apache Kafka Series - Confluent Schema Registry & REST Proxy

About this course

Schemas keep your Kafka pipelines safe as producers and consumers evolve, and this 4.5-hour course covers the tooling that makes it work: Apache Avro in depth, the Confluent Schema Registry, and the Kafka REST Proxy.

Part of the developer track, it's essential knowledge for running Kafka with more than one team.

• Apache Avro from basics to complex schemas and evolution rules
• The Confluent Schema Registry deployed and used hands-on
• Schema evolution strategies that don't break consumers
• The Kafka REST Proxy for producing and consuming over HTTP

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites?
Good knowledge of Apache Kafka fundamentals (the Kafka for Beginners course) and Java 8 basics.

In which order should I take the Apache Kafka courses?
Start with Kafka for Beginners. Then follow the developer track (Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, Confluent Schema Registry, KSQL) if you build applications, or the admin track (Cluster Setup, Monitoring & Operations, Security) if you operate clusters. Both tracks together are the recommended preparation for the Confluent certifications.
