Look inside
Step into the role of a developer at Piper Data Concepts (PDC), a company that specializes in helping Fortune 1000 companies improve their workflows. Your task is to review the 15-year-old workflow architecture of one of your clients, Trade Data Systems. You’ll identify issues and bottlenecks, then determine what’s needed to transform its workflow into a more modern, responsive architecture. To accomplish this, you’ll set up a development environment with Docker using Kafka, Python, and Postgres. As you go, you’ll deploy a Kafka cluster in KRaft mode and write Python code using Quix Streams to seamlessly process pre-defined business events..
This project is a part of the series Event-Driven Data Pipeline with Python and Kafka.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
prerequisites
The liveProject is for those who are interested in adding experience working with event-driven development. This is open to most skillsets and the user needs to have a programming background and be very comfortable with installing server-based software. We will use Python, but it is not a requirement you need to understand every aspect of the language. Thus, why we’re using Poetry to scaffold your Python project and using Quix Streams to handle events from Apache Kafka. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic Python
- Apache Kafka
- Quix Streams library
- Poetry
- Git version control system
- PostgreSQL
- Visual Studio Code
- Docker Desktop
- Python library management with Poetry
- Switching from a legacy system to a more modern
- Reading architectural diagram of an event-driven system
features
- Self-paced
- You choose the schedule and decide how much time to invest as you build your project.
- Project roadmap
- Each project is divided into several achievable steps.
- Get Help
- While within the liveProject platform, get help from fellow participants and even more help with paid sessions with our expert mentors.
- Compare with others
- For each step, compare your deliverable to the solutions by the author and other participants.
- books included as resources
- Get full access to select books for 90 days. Permanent access to excerpts from Manning products are also included, as well as references to other resources.
