Why are Kafka skills so high in demand?

- [Instructor] The exponential growth of connected devices has triggered the generation of huge amounts of data. Thankfully, technologies that enable these pipelines are also evolving. Apache Kafka is the leading queuing technology on which such data pipelines are built. My name is Kumaran Ponnambalam, in this course I will discuss the scalability and resilience aspects of Apache Kafka and how to build applications using them. I will start off with various concepts of Apache Kafka for scalability and resiliency. I will demonstrate setting up a Kafka cluster. Then I will dive into optimizing Kafka producers and consumers for performance and reliability. Finally, I will also discuss some best practices for designing Kafka applications. Let's now start learning about Apache Kafka scaling.
