Apache Beam is an open source, unified programming model for defining and executing parallel data processing pipelines. It's power lies in its ability to run both batch and streaming pipelines, with execution being carried out by one of Beam's supported distributed processing back-ends: Apache Apex, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow. Apache Beam is useful for ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks such as moving data between different storage media and data sources, transforming data into a more desirable format, and loading data onto a new system.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to implement the Apache Beam SDKs in a Java or Python application that defines a data processing pipeline for decomposing a big data set into smaller chunks for independent, parallel processing.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Beam.
• Use a single programming model to carry out both batch and stream processing from withing their Java or Python application.
• Execute pipelines across multiple environments.

Format of the Course

Some of the topics included in this training include:

• Apache Storm in the context of Hadoop
• Working with unbounded data
• Continuous computation
• Real-time analytics
• Distributed RPC and ETL processing

Kafka Streams is a client-side library for building applications and microservices whose data is passed to and from a Kafka messaging system. Traditionally, Apache Kafka has relied on Apache Spark or Apache Storm to process data between message producers and consumers. By calling the Kafka Streams API from within an application, data can be processed directly within Kafka, bypassing the need for sending the data to a separate cluster for processing.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to integrate Kafka Streams into a set of sample Java applications that pass data to and from Apache Kafka for stream processing.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Process stream data directly within a Kafka cluster
• Write a Java or Scala application or microservice that integrates with Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Write concise code that transforms input Kafka topics into output Kafka topics
• Build, package and deploy the application
