Your Project

You bring a real use case from your work, or you pick one of our recommended agent use cases. We review it before you pay. Each cohort takes at most 4 projects; a team counts as one project.

Project arc

● Week 1: use-case canvas and target architecture
● Week 2: build it in your track
● Week 3: DevOps & SRE build runbook, DR drill and lifecycle as code; Developer and Architect finish their artifact
● Close: 10 minute demo per project

Recommended agent use cases

● Incident diagnosis with an agent (read-only, runbook steps)
● Review agent for topics, ACLs and connectors as code
● DR drill agent that measures RTO and RPO
● Schema evolution gate before release
● Consumer lag triage

What you bring, per track. Foundation and Developer: a Kafka cluster with Schema Registry, a local one on your laptop is enough (we provide a setup file; without it you work on the trainer lab). Architect: no cluster of your own. DevOps & SRE: one cluster; for the DR drill in O5 with your own measurement, two Confluent Platform clusters with Cluster Linking. You bring the license you need. AI agents (we recommend Claude Code, Codex or Grok) are optional: every required exercise works without one. Costs for licenses, clusters and agent access are not included in the course price.

No production data. Participants keep each other's projects confidential, canvas review and demos in front of the cohort only with your consent and anonymized, and the results belong to you.
