Why KafkaIQ Works

Kafka feels simple until you have to reason about offsets, rebalancing, failures, and guarantees. KafkaIQ trains you to think through Kafka decisions the way real systems — and interviews — demand.

How You Actually Learn Kafka

1

Face a real Kafka scenario

Not trivia. Real scenarios about brokers, partitions, consumer groups, configs.

2

Get instant explanation

Why your answer was wrong — and why the correct one works.

3

Retry with clarity

You don't move on until Kafka clicks.

This is how KafkaIQ builds intuition, not memorization.
