This course aims to teach learners how to build a Streaming Data Platform using Clojure, Apache Kafka, and Apache Cassandra. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand the characteristics of streaming data platforms, work with Kafka partitions, address problems with Kafka and Cassandra, and utilize Clojure for data manipulation. The teaching method involves live-coding to demonstrate the power of the REPL and the JVM. This course is intended for individuals interested in high availability, real-time stream processing, scalability, and managing large amounts of data.
