Learning objectives

  • Master the new features of Apache Kafka 2026 for professional, certifiable data engineering pipelines.
  • Design scalable streaming architectures with Kafka Streams and KSQL in enterprise settings.
  • Integrate Apache Kafka 2026 with Spark and Airflow for advanced, high-performance ETL processes.
  • Optimize Kafka cluster performance for massive data volumes.
  • Deploy secure and resilient pipelines in hybrid cloud environments.
  • Develop certifiable skills in monitoring and troubleshooting Kafka 2026.
  • Implement real-world data engineering use cases to boost professional productivity.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Apache Kafka 2026 Architecture: Designing Scalable High-Availability Clusters (Kafka Streams, KRaft)

Discover the KRaft evolutions of Kafka 2026 without ZooKeeper, configure resilient multi-node clusters via practical exercises on Docker containers, implement Kafka Streams for real-time stateful processing, analyze dynamic partitions and automatic rebalancing, produce precise topologies with UML diagrams, test fault tolerance on concrete data engineering cases, deliver a production-ready architectural blueprint.

Module 2Apache Kafka 2026 Integrations: ETL Pipelines with Spark and Airflow (connectors, scheduling)

Dive into Kafka-Spark 2026 connectors for unified batch and streaming jobs, develop Airflow DAGs orchestrating Kafka streams in interactive labs, integrate Kafka Connect for third-party sources like S3 or SQL databases, optimize Avro serializers and Schema Registry for evolving schemas, simulate end-to-end ETL pipelines on terabyte datasets, debug backpressure with native tools, generate quantified performance reports as concrete deliverables.

Module 3Apache Kafka 2026 Optimization: Secure Monitoring and Production Deployment (Tiered Storage, security)

Master Kafka 2026 Tiered Storage for infinite retention without exploding costs, deploy OAuth and mTLS securities via Helm on Kubernetes, monitor with Prometheus and Grafana on custom metrics, tune JVM and brokers for sub-millisecond latencies, resolve memory leaks in live troubleshooting, migrate legacy Kafka to 2026 in guided sessions, conclude with a capstone project delivering a complete, certifiable, and scalable data engineering pipeline.

Evaluation method

  • Advanced quizzes on Kafka 2026 and data engineering use cases.
  • Evaluated practical labs on implementing Spark-Kafka ETL pipelines.
  • Final project: deployment of a Kafka-Airflow cluster in a simulated production environment.

Learning method

  • 70% hands-on approach with real labs on dedicated Kafka 2026 clusters.
  • Case studies from Fortune 500 companies using Kafka in data engineering.
  • Qualiopi-certified pedagogical method for maximum skill retention.
  • Post-training video support and alumni community for ongoing expertise.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Apache Kafka 2026 - Optimizing Streaming Data Engineering Pipelines program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Apache Kafka 2026 - Optimizing Streaming Data Engineering Pipelines program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Apache Kafka 2026 - Optimizing Streaming Data Engineering Pipelines program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

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.
