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

Amazon MSK Kafka curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Sizing an MSK cluster (Amazon MSK, brokers, partitions)

Analysis of large and dirty datasets to determine the number of brokers, partitions and replication factor. Calculation of costs related to scanned terabytes. Practical exercises on real-world sizing with retention and high availability considerations.

Module 2 : Security and access control (authentication, encryption, ACL)

Implementation of SASL and TLS authentication, configuration of encryption in transit and at rest. Fine-grained topic-level permission restrictions. Real enterprise cases with access auditing and compliance for critical data flows.

Module 3 : Producer and consumer configuration (reliability, retry)

Advanced producer settings for idempotency and transactions. Consumer optimization to minimize lags. Work on pipelines processing real data with recovery testing after incidents.

Module 4 : Operations and monitoring (storage, scaling, monitoring)

Monitoring of lagging replicas, disk saturation and CPU consumption. Implementation of horizontal scaling without downtime. Review of alerts and runbooks to prevent ingestion stops on large volumes.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Amazon MSK Kafka 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.
