This repository is designed as a practical learning project for understanding Apache Kafka in combination with Spring Boot. Instead of covering Kafka concepts in isolation, each chapter focuses on a specific use case, progressively building on previous ones to provide a structured learning experience.
- Learn Kafka's core features step by step using real-world use cases.
- Use Spring Boot for the most convenient and modern Kafka integration.
- Keep each chapter self-contained, allowing independent exploration and testing.
- Event-Driven Communication - Setting up a simple producer and consumer in Spring Boot.
- Reliable Messaging - Handling errors and retries.
- Scaling Consumers – Understanding Partitions and Consumer Groups.
This repository is a work in progress. Contributions and suggestions are welcome!
