Course Overview
This mentor-led Streaming Data Foundations programme introduces learners to the principles of real-time data processing and event-driven architecture. Participants gain a strong understanding of how modern organisations process and react to data streams using distributed systems like Kafka.
Through practical scenarios, learners explore core streaming concepts including producers, consumers, topics, partitions, and event design. The course focuses on building reliable, scalable pipelines that support real-time analytics and operational systems.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to design and implement event-driven pipelines, understand trade-offs in streaming systems, and apply best practices for scalability, fault tolerance, and performance in real-world environments.
