Our Verdict
The Complete Apache Kafka Practical Guide offers an engaging and hands-on approach to learning Kafka fundamentals through multiple programming languages like Java, Node.js, and Python. Though the course is based on an older Kafka version, it still provides a solid foundation for beginners while offering valuable insights into core features and operational capabilities. Some areas of improvement could include content updates, merging certain topics into longer videos to improve flow, and integration of more advanced Kafka features.
What We Liked
- In-depth coverage of Apache Kafka basics and hands-on experience with Java, Node.js, and Python producers and consumers

Potential Drawbacks
- The course has not been updated since 2020, with outdated commands and slight differences in Kafka behavior from newer versions
- Some topics are repetitive, and the divided structure of numerous short videos can be time-consuming due to loading screens between them
