“Design Real-Time Architectures with Apache Spark & Kafka” is an intermediate-level course crafted for learners aiming to build modern, scalable streaming systems. Across engaging, scenario-driven lessons, the course offers a comprehensive introduction to designing and implementing real-time data pipelines. Participants explore the foundations of streaming concepts, event-driven patterns, and the unique demands of low-latency processing. They gain practical experience working with Apache Kafka for event ingestion and Apache Spark Structured Streaming for real-time computation, learning to transform raw streams into actionable insights. The curriculum emphasizes reliable pipeline design, covering fault tolerance, checkpointing, and performance tuning to ensure systems can operate at scale. Through hands-on practice, guided dialogues, and real-world financial data scenarios, learners develop the confidence to architect, optimize, and deploy production-ready streaming solutions. By the end of the course, they are equipped with the technical and strategic skills needed to excel in today’s data-driven, real-time environments.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
