ConfluentReal-time data streaming

Data Streaming Engineer Foundations

This credential proves hands-on understanding of modern streaming systems built for low-latency data movement, integration, and analysis.

What it validates

It validates the ability to design, build, and maintain streaming solutions for real-time processing, with working knowledge of Kafka, Confluent Cloud, and event-driven integration patterns.

What I can confidently do

  • Design event-driven architectures for continuously moving data between systems.
  • Work confidently with Kafka topics, partitions, schemas, and core Confluent platform concepts.
  • Support real-time analytics and integrations with reliable streaming-first design choices.

ConfluentStateful stream processing

Data Streaming Engineer - Apache Flink®

This certification demonstrates practical fluency with Apache Flink as a foundation for building real-time, continuously running data applications.

What it validates

It validates the ability to work with Flink concepts such as stateful processing, event time, windows, checkpointing, and production-minded stream application design.

What I can confidently do

  • Build streaming jobs that transform, aggregate, and enrich events as data arrives.
  • Design stateful, windowed processing flows with resilience and recovery in mind.
  • Reason about throughput, latency, and fault tolerance when operating Flink-based workloads.
