Why this program matters

  • Without Platform Engineering mastery, DevOps teams waste 50% of their time on recurring manual setups, driving up cloud costs by 30% on average according to Gartner 2025.

  • Production incidents from unscalable platforms affect 68% of companies, resulting in downtime costing up to 100k€/hour.

  • In 2026, 82% of SRE recruiters reject candidates lacking advanced IDP skills, blocking promotions and career moves.

  • Every quarter without training widens the competitive gap, exposing your company to massive losses in productivity and innovation.

Program

Module 1Architecture: advanced Platform Engineering principles and IDP (Backstage, Golden Paths)

Dive into modern Platform Engineering architectures, install Backstage to create your first Internal Developer Platform, configure Golden Paths to standardize deployments, perform practical exercises on real business scenarios, produce an initial platform blueprint with diagrams and documentation, and benefit from personalized code review to consolidate your professional skills from the first day.

Module 2Infrastructure: Platform Engineering automations with Terraform and Crossplane

Automate infrastructure as code for Platform Engineering using Terraform and Crossplane, deploy managed Kubernetes clusters tailored to internal needs, integrate multi-hybrid cloud providers, test dynamic scaling scenarios on concrete business cases, generate reusable modules and secure IaC pipelines, and validate your deliverables through simulated deployments in real conditions for immediate skill advancement.

Module 3GitOps: Platform Engineering workflows with ArgoCD and Flux

Implement advanced GitOps practices in Platform Engineering via ArgoCD and Flux, synchronize continuous environments from Git repositories, configure helmified applications for your dev teams, simulate progressive rollouts and canary releases on red thread projects, analyze real-time drift detections, and produce an operational dashboard ready for the enterprise, transforming your skills into concrete strategic assets.

Module 4Observability: Platform Engineering monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)

Deploy a complete observability stack for Platform Engineering with Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry, collect metrics, logs and distributed traces, configure intelligent alerts based on business SLOs, analyze real incidents via hands-on exercises, integrate custom dashboards for SRE teams, and generate impact reports proving your platform's resilience, for boosted productivity and certified skills validated.

Module 5Security and Scaling: production Platform Engineering optimization (OPA, Istio)

Secure and scale your Platform Engineering platform with OPA for policy as code and Istio for service mesh, implement zero-trust and mTLS on microservices, optimize cloud costs via intelligent autoscaling, test high availability on chaos engineering drills, deploy in simulated prod with rollback strategies, and finalize an enterprise adoption plan with quantified ROI, ensuring successful digital transformation and skills ready for 2026.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Platform Engineering - Building Scalable Internal Platforms 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 Platform Engineering - Building Scalable Internal Platforms 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 Platform Engineering - Building Scalable Internal Platforms 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

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.
