Why this program matters

Without mastery of Apache Flink, 70% of companies lose real-time opportunities, with outdated batch processing causing 48h delays on critical analyses.
Costs explode: Gartner estimates 2,5M€ wasted annually from unmanaged streaming outages.
Careers stagnate as novice data engineers risk obsolescence against Kafka-Flink experts, blocking promotions by 20%.
Invest now to convert these risks into lasting competitive advantages.

Program

Module 1Introduction to Apache Flink: installation and first jobs (development environments, stream concepts)

Discover the fundamentals of Apache Flink through a guided installation on a local cluster, configure your development environment with IntelliJ, launch your first batch and stream jobs on simulated data, explore the DataStream API to transform simple streams, perform practical exercises on real-time wordcount, produce your first testable deliverables with immediate trainer feedback.

Module 2Stream Processing with Apache Flink: transformations and windows (keyBy, reduce, tumbling operations)

Dive into DataStream transformations, apply keyBy and reduce on continuous streams, configure tumbling and sliding windows to aggregate data in real-time, integrate sources like Kafka to ingest real streams, develop exercises on anomaly detection, test fault tolerance with checkpoints, generate performance reports as concrete deliverables.

Module 3State Management and Tables with Apache Flink: stateful streams and Flink SQL (KeyedState, ValueState)

Master state management with KeyedState and ValueState for stateful applications, implement custom counters on infinite streams, use Flink Table API and SQL for dynamic queries, connect to sinks like Elasticsearch, perform practical cases on complex aggregations, debug with the Flink web interface, produce complete deployable pipelines for business use.

Module 4Deployment and Optimization of Apache Flink: clusters and tuning (YARN, Kubernetes, monitoring)

Deploy Flink jobs on YARN and Kubernetes, optimize resources with parallelism and slots, monitor via Metrics and Grafana dashboards, integrate with data tools like Hadoop, simulate production scenarios with high loads, review best practices for scalability, finalize a capstone project on real business streams, obtain certificates with a portfolio of deliverables.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Live briefing on goals and team context.
Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.

Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in Apache Flink training?+

Hands-on work runs on development environments, stream concepts, keyBy, reduce, tumbling operations and keyedState. Those tools come from the Apache Flink program itself, delivered on site over 4 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.

What can participants do after Apache Flink training?+

They can master the basics of Apache Flink for a professionally certified training, develop skills in real-time stream processing in a business environment and design simple Flink jobs for business applications. Those are the stated objectives of the Apache Flink program at Beginner level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
