About this Certification
An overview of what this certification covers
The CCDAK exam validates a candidate's ability to design, build, and troubleshoot streaming applications on Apache Kafka using the Confluent stack. It tests practical knowledge of Kafka's core architecture (brokers, topics, partitions, replication, KRaft metadata), producer and consumer client development (delivery semantics, idempotence, transactions, offset management, rebalance protocols), Kafka Streams topologies (KStream vs KTable, stateful operations, windowing, joins), Kafka Connect (source and sink connectors, converters, SMTs, DLQ), Schema Registry (Avro/Protobuf/JSON Schema, compatibility modes, evolution), application testing (TopologyTestDriver, MockProducer/MockConsumer, embedded clusters), and application observability (JMX metrics, consumer lag, throughput and latency analysis).
