Mastering Apache Kafka With Spring Boot: Real-Time Event Processing for Spring Boot Applications

Mastering Apache Kafka with Spring Boot
Real-Time Event Processing for Spring Boot Applications

Modern applications don’t just process data — they react to it in real time.

If you're a Spring Boot developer looking to build scalable, event-driven systems using Apache Kafka, this book gives you a clear, practical path from fundamentals to production-ready architecture.

Instead of isolated examples, you’ll build a complete order processing system step by step — learning how real-world Kafka applications are designed, implemented, and scaled.

You’ll start with Kafka basics and quickly move into building producers and consumers, handling failures, ensuring reliable delivery, and scaling with consumer groups. From there, you’ll explore production-grade concerns like observability, monitoring, and stream processing.

This is not theory-heavy content. Every concept is grounded in practical implementation using Spring Boot.

Inside this book, you’ll learn to:

• Build and scale Kafka producers and consumers with Spring Boot
• Design reliable event-driven systems using real-world patterns
• Handle failures with retries and dead letter topics (DLT)
• Ensure delivery guarantees and message ordering
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and run Kafka in production

By the end of this book, you won’t just understand Kafka — you’ll know how to design, build, and run event-driven systems that work in production.

Turn your Spring Boot expertise into a powerful skillset for building modern, data-driven applications.
