Flink Training

Acosom offers professional Flink training and hands-on Flink workshops for developers, architects, data engineers, and operations teams who build and run Apache Flink in production. Our stream processing training is taught by engineers who design, deploy, and operate Flink streaming platforms every day — not by generic trainers who read documentation.

Two focused 3-day courses: Introduction to Stream Processing & Apache Flink and Apache Flink for Operations & SRE. Each course combines structured knowledge transfer with extensive hands-on labs, using real-world scenarios drawn from enterprise Flink deployments across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the broader DACH region, Europe, and the United States.

Whether you need a Flink training on-site at your location or an online Flink workshop for distributed teams — we deliver both.

Why Train with Acosom?

Most Flink training providers send trainers who have studied the documentation. We send engineers who have built and operated Flink platforms processing billions of events per day in regulated industries.

Taught by Production Engineers

Every Acosom Flink trainer is an active engineer who builds and operates Apache Flink clusters in production. You learn from people who have solved real problems — not from instructors who follow a script.

Real-World Examples

All exercises and examples come from actual enterprise Flink deployments. Stream processing pipelines, checkpointing strategies, state management, backpressure resolution — based on scenarios we have encountered and resolved in production environments.

Customizable Content

We adapt the training agenda to your specific Flink setup, tech stack, and team experience level. Running Flink on Kubernetes? Using the SQL API or DataStream API? Integrating with Kafka or other sources? We tailor the content accordingly.

Follow-Up Support

Training is just the beginning. After the course, your team can reach out to our engineers with questions as they apply what they learned. We also offer consulting and managed services for organizations that need ongoing Flink expertise.

Flink Training Courses

Two intensive 3-day courses designed for different roles — choose the one that fits your team, or book both.

Stream Processing & Apache Flink (3 Days)

Target audience: Developers, architects, and data engineers new to stream processing or Apache Flink.

Format: 40% knowledge transfer + 60% hands-on coding | Max 10 participants

Master streaming fundamentals — event time, windowing, watermarks, and exactly-once semantics. Then dive deep into Flink internals, architecture, state management, and hands-on development with the SQL API and DataStream API. Build a complete real-time streaming application from Kafka to Flink to sink.

Apache Flink for Operations & SRE (3 Days)

Target audience: Operations engineers, DevOps, and SRE teams managing Flink in production.

Format: 40% theory + 60% hands-on labs | Max 10 participants

Learn Flink deployment on Kubernetes with the Flink Kubernetes Operator, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, backpressure analysis, checkpoint tuning, state backend optimization, no-downtime upgrades, disaster recovery, and operational automation including CI/CD for Flink jobs.

Training Format

Our Flink training is designed for maximum practical impact — your team works with Flink throughout the course, not just watches slides. Whether you call it a Flink workshop, stream processing training, or data streaming training — what matters is that your team builds real skills with real systems.

On-site at your location or online via video conference — your choice
Maximum 10 participants per session for individual attention and meaningful hands-on guidance
40% structured knowledge transfer, 60% hands-on labs — every concept is immediately practiced
Custom content possible — we adapt the agenda to your Flink version, infrastructure, and team goals
Available in English and German — we deliver Flink training (Flink Schulung) in both languages

We deliver Flink training on-site across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the broader DACH region, throughout Europe, and in the United States. For on-site training, our engineers travel to your location. For distributed teams, our online format provides the same depth and interactivity. Every Flink workshop includes event streaming training patterns drawn from real production environments.

Getting Started

From inquiry to confirmed training — straightforward and fast.

Tell us which course you are interested in, your preferred dates, team size, and any specific topics you want to emphasize. We respond within one business day.

Tailored Agenda

We review your Flink environment and team background, then propose a customized training agenda. If you use specific tools, frameworks, or cloud providers, we incorporate them into the exercises.

Schedule & Confirm

We finalize dates, logistics (on-site or online), and handle any procurement or legal requirements. Flexible scheduling — weekdays, consecutive or split across weeks.

Training Delivery

Three days of intensive, hands-on Apache Flink training delivered by a senior Acosom engineer. Your team leaves with practical skills they can apply immediately.

Apache Flink Training FAQ

How much does the Flink training cost?

Our Apache Flink training is priced per group, not per participant. This means you pay a fixed price for up to 10 participants — making it significantly more cost-effective than per-person training models. Contact us for a quote based on your specific requirements (on-site vs. online, customization level, location).

What are the prerequisites for the stream processing course?

Participants should have experience with Java, Python, or SQL. Basic understanding of distributed systems concepts is helpful but not required — we cover streaming fundamentals thoroughly on Day 1. No prior Flink or stream processing experience is necessary.

What are the prerequisites for the operations course?

Participants should be comfortable with Linux administration, networking basics, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Experience operating distributed systems is helpful. No prior Flink experience is required.

Can you customize the training content?

Yes, absolutely. We routinely adapt our Flink training to match the client’s specific setup. This includes adjusting for your deployment model (Kubernetes, standalone, YARN), your data sources and sinks (Kafka, JDBC, filesystem), and your team’s experience level. If you need a combination of development and operations topics, we can build a hybrid agenda.

In which languages do you offer the training?

We deliver Apache Flink training in English and German. Training materials are available in both languages. For Swiss and DACH-region clients, we commonly deliver the Flink Schulung in German with English materials.

Where do you deliver on-site training?

We deliver on-site Apache Flink training across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the rest of Europe. We also travel to the United States for on-site engagements. For teams spread across multiple locations, our online training format provides the same hands-on experience.

Do you offer follow-up support after the training?

Yes. After the training, your team has access to our engineers for follow-up questions as they begin applying their new skills. For organizations that need deeper ongoing support, we also offer Apache Flink consulting services, managed Flink operations, and enterprise support contracts.

What makes Acosom's Flink training different from other providers?

Unlike generic training companies, every Acosom Flink trainer is an active engineer who builds and operates Flink platforms in production — daily. Our training content comes from real enterprise deployments, not from textbooks. We focus on practical skills, production-ready patterns, and the specific challenges your team faces. And after the training, we are available for consulting and support — we do not disappear after three days.
