The purpose of this training is to design scalable and manageable Kafka topic architectures aligned with business domains, together with a robust schema strategy. The course covers domain-driven topic modeling, key/partition selection, naming conventions, retention/compaction policies, replication and durability settings, as well as schema design using Avro, Protobuf, and JSON Schema. Schema Registry compatibility modes and schema evolution processes are also addressed to establish production-ready and governed topic and schema standards.

- Manage schema evolution safely using Schema Registry compatibility modes
- Establish governance standards, templates, and checklists for enterprise Kafka environments
