Apache Kafka is one of the most popular event streaming platforms commonly used with Apache Flink. We will be using Apache Kafka as a data source for Apache Flink in this course, so I've added a short introductory video about it.

If you are already familiar with Apache Kafka, feel free to skip this section, and go straight to the content of this course!

This video is all you need to continue with this course, but if you want to learn more about Apache Kafka, I recommend taking the Fundamentals of Apache Kafka course on ZTM.
