Build high-performance, scalable, and resilient systems using Python and Kafka.Key Features? Learn EDA fundamentals with real-world use case examples.? Master Kafka and Python to build event-driven applications.? Build secure, testable, and observable EDA-based systems.? Step-by-step design and hands-on coding for core EDA parts.Book DescriptionPython's simplicity and flexibility, combined with Apache Kafka's high-throughput, fault-tolerant messaging system, make them a powerful duo for building scalable, event-driven applications. Ultimate Event-Driven Architecture with Python and Apache Kafka brings together these two technologies to help developers and architects design modern, asynchronous systems capable of handling real-time data at scale.The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), including its core principles, benefits, and real-world relevance. It then explores the essential components of an EDA system, guiding readers through design patterns, message flow, and architectural considerations. Security, testing, and observability are covered in depth to ensure robust and reliable systems.Later chapters dive into Apache Kafka concepts and demonstrate how to build and deploy practical, real-world solutions using Python. Hands-on examples and a complete use case walk-through ensure that readers can confidently apply what they've learned in production scenarios.Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or architecting from scratch, this book equips you to build event-driven systems that are scalable, resilient, and future-ready. Start your EDA journey with Python and Kafka today!What you will learn? Understand the core principles and components of event-driven architecture.? Learn to design scalable systems, using events, not requests.? Implement Kafka-based messaging in Python with real code examples.? Secure EDA systems with authentication and authorization practices.? Apply debugging, testing, and monitoring strategies for EDA systems.? Build a complete event-driven system, using Python and Kafka.Table of Contents1. Event-Driven Architecture: Introduction2.
