Why this program matters

  • Without mastering Kafka, 40% of companies lose critical data in real-time streams, leading to processing delays up to 5x slower and infrastructure costs inflated by 30%.

  • Imagine streaming outages blocking your analytics dashboards, e-commerce revenue losses due to unprocessed messages, or failed GDPR audits from deficient traceability.

  • Our clients avoid these pitfalls: a data engineer reduced latency by 10x, a DevOps scaled logs without crashes.

  • Invest 28 hours to secure your pipelines and boost your competitiveness tomorrow.

Program

Kafka curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Kafka Introduction: Architecture and Installation (Zookeeper, Kafka Broker)

Discover Kafka's pillars through interactive diagrams, install a single-node cluster with Docker, configure the first brokers and test connectivity, perform your first startup exercises to visualize logs in real-time, while mastering the essential commands that will make you autonomous from day one.

Module 2 : Producers and Consumers: Message Creation (Kafka Producers, Consumers API)

Dive into code with Java or Python, code your first producers to send massive streams, develop grouped consumers to process data, test JSON/Avro serialization on real e-commerce cases, optimize acknowledgment reliability, and produce a functional deliverable ready to integrate.

Module 3 : Topics and Scalability: Partitions, Replication (Kafka Topics, Partitions Management)

Create and manage advanced topics, partition your data for performance, configure multi-broker replication on a simulated cluster, experiment with consumer groups in collaborative exercises, analyze throughput impact with Kafka UI, and validate your skills with a live benchmark that boosts your confidence.

Module 4 : Integrations and Best Practices: Monitoring, Kafka Connect (Streams, Basic Security)

Integrate Kafka with NoSQL databases via Connect, monitor with Prometheus and Grafana in real-time, secure your streams with SSL, build a complete streaming pipeline on real IoT data, finalize with a group project deliverable, and leave with ready-to-use templates for your company.

How Kafka skills are assessed

  • Continuous evaluation through practical coding exercises
  • Interactive quizzes at the end of each day
  • Final streaming pipeline project evaluation

How the Kafka course is taught

  • Active pedagogy with 70% hands-on practice
  • Real Kafka cluster remotely via Docker
  • Personalized feedback during live coding

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your 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.
