Announcing Confluent University: World-Class Apache Kafka Training

Confluent has launched Confluent University to provide world-class Apache Kafka training both onsite and at public venues, with courses designed for both operations and development roles. The Operations Training course focuses on installing, monitoring, securing, and managing Kafka clusters, while the Developer Training class teaches how to build applications that publish and consume data from Kafka, both of which are heavily hands-on to ensure practical learning. Initially available in cities like San Francisco, New York City, Redwood City, and Austin, Confluent plans to expand these offerings to more locations in the U.S. and internationally. Founded by the original developers of Apache Kafka, Confluent brings a wealth of experience to its training programs, aiming to provide essential skills for organizations integrating Kafka. In addition, Confluent has been recognized as Microsoft’s 2024 OSS on Azure Global Partner of the Year, underscoring its commitment to delivering superior open source-based solutions on Microsoft Azure. This reflects the growing importance of data streaming as a fundamental component of modern business infrastructure.
