Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of API Gateways, companies expose their microservices to 80% more security attacks, leading to breaches costing an average of 4,5 millions d'euros per incident according to IBM.

  • Teams lose 35% of time on manual route and traffic management, slowing deployments and increasing infrastructure costs by 25%.

  • In 2024, 62% of DevOps recruiters reject profiles unable to orchestrate scalable APIs, risking career stagnation and loss of competitiveness against agile competitors.

  • Invest now to avoid these costly traps.

API Gateway training objectives

  • Master API Gateways to orchestrate professional enterprise workflows
  • Configure advanced routes and plugins to optimize performance
  • Implement API security with authentication and rate limiting
  • Develop certifiable skills in API Gateway monitoring and scaling
  • Design resilient architectures connected to microservices
  • Deploy API Gateways in production with CI/CD

API Gateway curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : API Gateway Fundamentals: Installation and Initial Configuration (Kong, AWS API Gateway, Routes, Plugins)

Dive into the world of API Gateways by installing Kong and AWS API Gateway in a Docker environment, configure your first routes to direct traffic to simulated microservices, explore essential plugins for request transformation, perform practical exercises on real business cases such as exposing internal APIs, create a first functional proxy with logging enabled, and benefit from personalized code review to consolidate your professional skills.

Module 2 : API Gateway Security: Authentication, Authorization, and Advanced Protection (OAuth2, JWT, Rate Limiting)

Secure your APIs by implementing OAuth2 and JWT with dedicated plugins on Kong and AWS, configure rate limiting to prevent abuse and DDoS attacks, test integration with identity services like Keycloak, apply CORS policies and schema validation on concrete business scenarios, develop a complete secure flow with hands-on exercises, generate security audit reports, and learn to document your configurations for optimal team maintenance.

Module 3 : API Gateway Optimization: Monitoring, Scaling, and Production Deployment (Prometheus, Kubernetes, CI/CD)

Optimize your API Gateways by integrating Prometheus and Grafana for real-time performance metrics monitoring, scale horizontally with Kubernetes by deploying auto-scalable replicas, automate deployments via GitHub Actions and Helm charts on critical business cases, analyze bottlenecks with distributed tracing via Jaeger, create a personalized supervision dashboard, test resilience under load with tools like Artillery, and finalize an ongoing project deployed in production to highlight your certifiable skills.

API Gateway training: access and practical arrangements

The Training API Gateway - Orchestrating and Securing Microservices 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 API Gateway - Orchestrating and Securing Microservices 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 API Gateway - Orchestrating and Securing Microservices 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.

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.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your API Gateway training

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.
