Learning objectives

  • Master Kafka architecture for professional, certifying data pipelines
  • Configure and deploy a scalable Kafka cluster in an enterprise environment
  • Develop optimized producers and consumers for massive streams
  • Implement Kafka Streams for real-time event processing
  • Optimize management of topics, partitions, and Kafka replication
  • Integrate Kafka with tools like Spark and Elasticsearch in production
  • Acquire certifying skills for modern event-driven architectures

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 1Kafka Architecture: Design Scalable Topics and Brokers (Zookeeper, Replication)

Dive into the basics of Apache Kafka with local cluster installation, exploration of key concepts like brokers, topics, and partitions, initial configuration via Kafka CLI and admin tools, practical exercises on creating partitioned topics, simulation of replication for high availability, production of first messages to validate flows, while analyzing concrete enterprise cases for immediate and actionable understanding.

Module 2Kafka Configuration: Secure and Deploy a Production Cluster (ACL, SSL)

Configure a robust Kafka cluster by enabling security with Kerberos and SSL, manage quotas and ACLs for fine-grained access control, deploy multi-node setups with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, test fault tolerance by killing brokers, optimize JVM and OS parameters for performance, practical workshops on mirroring between clusters, produce a deployment plan ready for enterprise with checklists and basic monitoring.

Module 3Kafka Producers: Develop High-Performance Inbound Streams (Serialization, Batching)

Develop advanced Kafka producers in Java or Python with Avro serializers and Schema Registry, implement batching and compression to scale to millions of messages per second, handle errors with retries and dead letter queues, exercises on integration with databases via Kafka Connect, measure throughput and latency in real time, e-commerce use cases for logs and transactions, deliverable of a customized and load-tested producer.

Module 4Kafka Consumers: Implement Parallel Processing (Groups, Rebalancing)

Master Kafka consumers with consumer group and dynamic rebalancing management, exactly-once processing via transactions, Kafka Streams integration for real-time aggregations on continuous streams, develop stream processing apps with joins and windowing, workshops on KSQL for SQL queries on streams, simulate high-velocity IoT scenarios, produce a robust consumer connected to Elasticsearch for instant dashboarding.

Module 5Kafka Optimization: Monitoring and Tuning for Enterprise (Prometheus, Partition Tuning)

Optimize your Kafka cluster with advanced partition tuning and retention policies, set up monitoring via Prometheus, Grafana, and Kafka Exporter, diagnose bottlenecks under load, best practices for horizontal scaling and zero-downtime upgrades, red thread project integrating producers, streams, and consumers on a real business case, collective code review, action plan for production implementation with quantified ROI.

Evaluation method

  • Multiple-choice quiz to validate learning outcomes at the end of the training
  • Continuous evaluation through practical Kafka exercises
  • Presentation of the red thread Kafka cluster project to the trainer

Learning method

  • Courses led by an active Kafka expert trainer
  • Practical exercises on real enterprise data streaming cases
  • Progressive red thread project on a dedicated Kafka cluster
  • Complete course materials provided to each participant

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Apache Kafka - Mastering Real-Time Data Streams 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 - Mastering Real-Time Data Streams 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 - Mastering Real-Time Data Streams 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.
