A comprehensive, hands-on course that takes you from Kafka fundamentals to deploying production-ready event-driven microservices with FastAPI.

You'll build real systems — not toy examples. Every module includes working code, architecture diagrams, and battle-tested patterns used in high-throughput production environments.

What you'll master: • Apache Kafka core internals — brokers, partitions, consumer groups, and exactly-once semantics • Designing event schemas with Avro and Schema Registry • Building async producers and consumers with Python (confluent-kafka & aiokafka) • Integrating Kafka with FastAPI for real-time event-driven APIs • CQRS and Event Sourcing patterns for microservice architectures • Stream processing with Kafka Streams and Faust • Monitoring, alerting, and debugging Kafka in production (Prometheus, Grafana, Conduktor) • Multi-cluster replication, disaster recovery, and scaling strategies

Who this is for: → Backend engineers tired of synchronous request-response chains → Python developers moving into distributed systems → Tech leads designing event-driven platform architectures → Anyone preparing for senior/staff-level system design interviews

What's included: ✓ 8 in-depth course modules with 40+ lessons ✓ Production-ready code repositories ✓ Architecture review sessions in community chat ✓ Certificate of completion ✓ Lifetime access to course updates
