A companion code repository for the 'Kafka for Beginners' Udemy course by Stephane Maarek/Conduktor, containing Java sample applications for Apache Kafka. It includes basic producer/consumer examples, a Wikimedia producer, an OpenSearch consumer, and a Kafka Streams sample application.

Use cases

• learn apache kafka from scratch
• example java code for kafka producers and consumers
• understand kafka topics partitions and consumer groups
• build a kafka streams application example
• connect kafka to opensearch or elasticsearch
• set up a local kafka development environment
• learn kafka command line tools

When to choose

• you are taking or considering the Kafka for Beginners course and want the accompanying code
• you want hands-on Java examples of Kafka producers, consumers, and Streams
• you are a beginner learning event streaming fundamentals

When to avoid

• you need production-ready Kafka client code rather than educational samples
• you want a Kafka client library or framework to embed in your project
• you need a maintained library with a license and releases - this is course material without a license
