This Specialization provides hands-on, project-driven training in modern data engineering using Apache Avro, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Apache Solr. Learners gain practical experience building serialization pipelines, real-time streaming systems, production-grade Kafka consumers, and enterprise search solutions through realistic industry use cases. By completing the program, learners develop job-ready skills for designing, implementing, and optimizing end-to-end data platforms used in large-scale analytics and streaming environments.
Applied Learning Project
Learners complete multiple end-to-end projects, including building Avro-based serialization pipelines, implementing real-time Kafka and Spark streaming analytics, developing resilient Kafka consumer systems using telecom data, and creating scalable search applications with Apache Solr. Each project mirrors real-world data engineering challenges, emphasizing practical implementation, debugging, and production-style workflows.
