This quick 2 1/2 hour course is full of hands-on workshops for using Kafka to build real-world applications, including:

  • A URL shortener app with Kafka, Node.js, Cloudflare, and Materialize
  • A live content moderation system using Kafka, Redis, AWS Lambda, Next.js and Sightengine
  • Streaming live Tweets from Twitter into Kafka via AWS Lambda
  • An Android mobile app streaming logs into Kafka, and using Redis for data storage – with React Native
  • Connecting Stripe to Apache Kafka using Webhooks

Upstash sponsored the creation of these videos, and they illustrate using Upstash’s platform to let you quickly create Kafka and Redis clusters in the cloud, for free while you learn (you could use your own Kafka and Redis clusters if you wish, too). You’ll build complete, working apps in a fully serverless environment, totally hands-on – it’s great experience that will expose you to a wide variety of important technologies. I’m pretty proud with how it came out, and I think you’ll enjoy these videos.
