Description:

In this session, attendees will learn:

Introduction to Microservices Architecture:

A brief overview of microservices, their benefits, and common challenges.

Why gRPC?:

Understanding gRPC, its advantages over traditional REST APIs, and how it enhances communication in microservices.

Why Kafka?:

Exploring Kafka's role in building resilient, real-time data pipelines, and how it ensures high availability and fault tolerance.

Integrating gRPC with Python:

Step-by-step guide on setting up a gRPC server and client in Python, including defining service contracts with Protocol Buffers.

Using Kafka with Python:

Setting up Kafka producers and consumers in Python to handle real-time data streams effectively.

Combining gRPC and Kafka:

Best practices for integrating gRPC and Kafka in a microservices architecture, focusing on creating asynchronous, event-driven services.

Hands-on Demonstration:

A live coding session demonstrating the creation of a simple microservice using Python, gRPC, and Kafka. This will include setting up a Kafka cluster, defining gRPC services, and integrating both technologies in a cohesive application.

Deployment and Scaling:

Strategies for deploying and scaling microservices in production environments, including containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes.

Case Studies and Real-World Examples:

Discussion of real-world applications and success stories where Python, gRPC, and Kafka were used to solve complex problems.

Prerequisites:
