Course Roadmap
Skills You'll Learn
- Deeply understand the Flink streaming engine internals
- Use functional programming on real-time data streams
- Process any kind of data at scale with Flink
- Apply complex transformations including window functions
- Run stateful computations, the core strength of Flink
- Connect Flink to popular message buses and data storage systems
- Design your own Flink connectors
- Deploy Flink applications to a cluster
- Troubleshoot jobs and navigate the Flink UI
- Understand the practical benefits of streaming data
- Work with event time and processing time
- Make informed tradeoffs between latency and throughput
- Ensure data consistency and persistence in streaming jobs
Goal
Stream Data Like a Boss.
This Flink course is designed for developers who want to gain practical expertise with Apache Flink and unlock the full potential of real-time data processing.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only know how to build streaming applications with Flink but also understand the underlying mechanics and best practices that make Flink so powerful for handling data streams at scale. You’ll learn everything you need to navigate the Flink ecosystem confidently — from configuring your Flink environment to deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting applications in production.
If you’re a seasoned Scala developers looking to expand your skills in streaming or a data engineer aiming to master Flink for large-scale projects, this course is for you. You’ll get enough depth and practical experience needed to make you productive with Flink from day one.
You’ll have hands-on examples, lots of practice (the course is 95% code), and pinpoint explanations.
But more than that, you’ll be able to take on any streaming data challenge, both now and throughout your career in data engineering.
What is Flink?
What is Flink?
Apache Flink is a distributed system and computational engine for stateful big data streaming.
That was a mouthful.
In plain English, Flink is an library that allows you to process big data at scale, as it arrives, in almost real time.
Flink gives you a variety of APIs that allow you to do plain functional programming on streaming data, and low-level APIs to give you ultimate control. Plus connectors to everything popular, including Kafka, JDBC, Cassandra, Pulsar, S3 and all sorts of data processors and storage systems.
In this course, you’ll learn how to be productive with Flink, and you’ll grow as a data engineer.

My team is expanding the use of Akka in our products so I needed a quick introduction on this topic. I have tried a couple of courses but the introduction to Akka was always too abrupt, too hard to comprehend. I blamed Akka for this as being too hard to explain. This was until I was exposed to the Rock The JVM courses which were an absolute delight when it comes to presenting such complex topics in such an easy to understand way. And Daniel has not stopped at Akka but has added to his portfolio amazing courses on Scala and Spark too. It seems like he is quite enjoying taking such challenges like complex technologies and making them so simple for everyone. I have instantly recommended Daniel’s work to my team, which helped them immensely with taking their skills to a new level, and I do recommend these courses to anyone who wants to have the fastest ramp-up in these tough but popular technologies.

From Scala, to Akka, to Spark, Daniel delivers exceptional material in each and every one of these technologies. I’ve been using them for a long time and there is always something new I will discover from him. The level of detail he gets into as well as the way he delivers material is mindblowing. I personally find his latest course Spark Optimization pure gold and one of a kind. I’ve been using Spark for a year now and I haven’t even thought how much you can leverage query plans to make such optimizations. I can’t stop thinking every time, how he manages to go so deep - because using a technology is one thing, but knowing its internals so well and how everything works behind the scenes is another story when it comes to distributed systems. Long story short Daniel is definitely the best instructor I’ve come across and each one of his courses is the best resource you can find online. Kudos for all your work and knowledge sharing.

Daniel’s courses on Scala and Big Data are the best in class. I’ve been in touch with Daniel’s teaching and courses since early 2018. The first course that I took from him was Scala & Functional Programming; I was skeptical about it because over the internet there are many courses you can find, but few really worthy. I remember the very first day when Daniel started to speak and shared his examples - I started to love Scala, and then more as we went on. I am with Scala for the last 5 years now, but never ever has anyone explained to me or gave me comparable resources to Rock the JVM. Daniel gave me a shift in life and helped me crack top tech company interviews. His courses on big data are a must for any aspiring big data developer or data enthusiast. I highly recommend Daniel as an educator both online and on campus.

Meet Rock the JVM
Daniel Ciocîrlan
Founder, Rock the JVM
I'm a software engineer and the founder of Rock the JVM.
I started Rock the JVM out of love for Scala and the technologies it powers. They are amazing tools, and I want to share as much of my experience with them as I can.
I've taught Java, Scala, Kotlin and related technologies such as Cats, ZIO and Spark to 100,000+ students at various levels. I've held live training sessions for companies including Adobe and Apple, taught university students who now work at Google and Facebook, run Hour of Code for 7-year-olds, and taught more than 50,000+ kids to code.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and I wrote my Bachelor and Master thesis on Quantum Computation. Before learning programming, I won medals at international Physics competitions.
In collaboration with
Dmytro Mykhailov
Dmytro Mykhailov is a Flink expert and trainer. We worked together on the initial structure of the course, as well as a large chunk of examples and exercises. This course would not have been possible without him.
For most of his career, Dmytro has been working as a Full Stack Developer and Solution Architect. His responsibilities include collecting and analyzing requirements, software design, implementation kick-start, team development, and leading the team to the successful delivery of the software.
Dmytro has conducted mentoring, coaching, and training sessions. He developed several technical training programs: general software engineering excellence, software design, and practical TDD training courses. He has also conducted engineering workshops and bootcamps.
Dmytro is also a former Rock the JVM student.
