Part 4 Kafka in enterprise use

In part 4, we examine how Apache Kafka can be integrated into enterprise environments, focusing on both foundational and advanced topics. This section covers practical aspects of using Kafka within larger systems, such as connecting external systems with Kafka Connect, performing stream processing with Kafka Streams, implementing governance strategies, and ensuring high-performance deployment using Kafka’s reference architecture. We also dive into critical areas such as monitoring, alerting, disaster recovery, and Kafka’s integration within modern, real-time, event-driven architectures. By understanding how Kafka fits into enterprise workflows and addressing these advanced considerations, organizations can harness Kafka’s full potential to handle data integration, processing, and management at scale, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and resilience.
