Getting Started with Python for Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is presented as a widely used platform for helping companies process business events in real time, and Confluent’s free Apache Kafka for Python Developers course teaches Python developers how to build applications that stream data to and from Kafka clusters. Led by Confluent Senior Developer Advocate Dave Klein, the course combines instructional modules with hands-on exercises using Confluent Cloud, covering environment setup, Kafka cluster configuration, connection details, and installation of Python client libraries. Participants learn to produce events with the Python Producer class, consume them with the Consumer class, integrate applications with Confluent Schema Registry using JSON serialization and deserialization, and perform basic cluster administration through the AdminClient class. The course also introduces options for applying these skills to more complex event-streaming use cases, aiming to prepare learners to begin developing Kafka-based Python applications.
