Objective

This track introduces event-driven architectures using Kafka, and monitoring event-driven architectures using Prometheus. After taking this track, someone should be sufficiently familiar with Kafka for a junior job focused on Kafka (or similar systems), or a mid-level job involving event-driven systems.

It assumes you have already:

• Completed the Software Development Course
• Gained enough familiarity with Docker that you can create a docker image for an application you have developed, and run it locally using docker run.
• Used docker compose to run multiple coordinated Docker containers locally.
