-
Spark and Kafka coverage spans batch, stream, SQL, partitioning, tuning, and lakehouse use
-
AWS-based practice connects EMR, MSK, S3, RDS, Redshift, Lambda, and Iceberg workflows at scale
-
Large-dataset projects mirror real processing, ingestion, optimization, and analytics scenarios
Modern data engineering depends on reliable batch and streaming systems that can process large datasets, support analytics, and connect storage with downstream applications. Spark and Kafka are central to that workflow, especially when hosted on AWS services such as EMR, MSK, and S3.
The learning path begins with big data processing foundations before moving into Spark architecture, DataFrames, transformations, actions, partitions, shuffling, Spark SQL, joins, functions, tuning, and deployment modes. It also covers Kafka for streaming ingestion, Spark Streaming for stream processing, AWS Lambda for data processing, Databricks, Redshift integration, and data lakehouse concepts using Apache Iceberg.
Practical projects and large dataset exercises help learners connect concepts with implementation. The material supports stronger decision-making around pipeline design, performance tuning, batch versus stream processing, and cloud service selection. By the end of this course, learners can build, tune, and explain Spark and Kafka data processing workflows on AWS.
Best suited for Python developers, application developers, big data developers, data engineers, data scientists, data analysts, database administrators, architects, technical managers, and data engineering aspirants. AWS and SQL knowledge is helpful.
