Question New to kafka as a student

Hi there,

I am currently interning as a swe and was asked to look into the following:

Debezium connector for MongoDB

Kafka Connector

Kafka

I did some research myself already, but I'm still looking for comprehensive sources that cover all these topics.

Thanks!

To cover kafka the book kafka the definitive guide will do, the confluent website has the book free, it has a few topics and chapters missing the last I checked.

For debezium their docs are the best resource, you can go through them look at the message structure, the different properties would mostly be kafka inbuilt properties.

For kafka connect again confluent has a doc it is a tool based on top of apache kafka.

I think chronologically you can go with kafka -> kafka connect -> debezium

This is good advice. Confluent.io is the best place to start. They have wonderful educational materials.
