Netflix's Data Platform -- Real-Time Distributed Graph, Kafka, Flink, and Internet-Scale Data Processing

This module explores Netflix's real-time data infrastructure, centered on their October 2025 tech blog series about building a Real-Time Distributed Graph with 8 billion nodes and 150 billion edges processing 2 million reads per second. It covers their Kafka and Flink architecture, the architectural lessons they learned through iteration, and their AV1 video codec innovations. This is essential material for data engineering and infrastructure candidates, and provides excellent talking points for system design interviews.
