Sharpen Your Apache Pulsar Skills with StreamNative’s Hands-On Self-Paced Courses

Interested in learning about Apache Pulsar, the cloud-native, distributed messaging and streaming platform? StreamNative Academy is your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about Pulsar.

StreamNative training for Apache Pulsar comes in two flavors:

I. Instructor-led training

StreamNative’s instructor-led classes are now self-paced, complete with coding demonstrations and hands-on challenges in a dedicated training environment. StreamNative’s full-time technical trainer is available to answer questions during office hours and can troubleshoot any issues remotely in your training environment. Two classes are offered:

Practical Apache Pulsar Application Development (3 days):

Aimed at developers new to Apache Pulsar or needing to broaden their understanding of Apache Pulsar clients, this course focuses on many of the key features of the Apache Pulsar Java client for producing and consuming messages to a Pulsar cluster. Coding exercises include publishing messages with synchronous and asynchronous Java code, consuming messages using all four subscription types, using keyed messages with partitioned topics and table views, and much more. You will receive a certificate of completion after meeting course requirements. To demonstrate mastery, developers can consider certification by completing Apache Pulsar Developer Certification Level 1: Fundamentals (~12 hours).

Foundations of Apache Pulsar Operations (coming soon, 3 days):

In this course, operators will get hands-on experience installing and configuring a single-node Apache Pulsar cluster in a dedicated StreamNative training environment. Hands-on exercises include installing a Pulsar cluster using helm, monitoring the cluster with Prometheus/Grafana, completing a server upgrade, using pulsar-admin to configure policies, and using pulsar-perf to test the cluster. This course is a great hands-on way to better understand how various components work together to create a resilient Pulsar cluster. You will receive a certificate of completion after meeting course requirements.

II. Free on-demand courses

Not sure if you want to commit to a three-day course? StreamNative offers Pulsar learning content curated for different roles: business leaders, developers, and operators. These learning paths were developed based on valuable feedback from learners who shared that different jobs require different learning pathways.

All users should start with Introduction to Apache Pulsar to learn the basics of Apache Pulsar use cases, the Apache Pulsar messaging model, and Apache Pulsar architecture and design.

From here trainees for each role can focus on their specialized content:
