Our Verdict

With clear explanations and valuable case studies, this Apache Kafka course provides a good introduction for beginners. Despite challenges in setting up a local environment and outdated material, you can still benefit from its comprehensive topic coverage. Watch out for heavy reliance on the instructor's own product (Conduktor) during practical labs, though.

What We Liked

Comprehensive coverage of Apache Kafka basics and advanced topics
Clear and concise explanations, making it easy to understand complex concepts
Numerous practical examples that reinforce the learning material
Case studies provide real-world insights into Big Data architecture

Potential Drawbacks

Some students faced issues setting up Kafka infrastructure on their local machines
Outdated materials and focus on now unavailable Conductor free cloud cluster
Limited hands-on experience with advanced topics such as Java Streams, Schema Registry, and Kafka Connect
Instructor's own product (Conduktor) used heavily, making it difficult to follow the labs
