A comprehensive, architect-level course that takes you from Kafka fundamentals to production-grade event-driven systems with Django. You'll master topics, partitions, consumer groups, CQRS, event sourcing, saga patterns, schema evolution, and real-time stream processing — all through hands-on projects built with Python and Django.

This is not a beginner tutorial. This is a structured curriculum designed by a practicing Django architect who has shipped event-driven systems at scale. Every lesson includes production-ready code patterns, architecture decision records, and battle-tested best practices.

What you'll build: • A real-time order processing pipeline with Kafka and Django • CQRS read models powered by Kafka consumers • Saga-based distributed transaction orchestration • A fully monitored Kafka cluster with Prometheus and Grafana

Who this is for: • Python/Django developers ready to move beyond REST monoliths • Backend engineers preparing for distributed systems roles • Tech leads architecting microservice transitions
