We live in real-time. Does your data too?

We shape a future where companies live the pulse of time and act in the flow of data.

Real-time shipment tracking instead of vague delivery windows?

We empower logistics companies to master their data streams and analyze them in real time – so your customers always know where their shipment is and exactly when it will arrive.


Real-time fraud protection instead of after-the-fact damage reports?

We enable financial service providers to monitor payment transactions in real time and detect anomalies immediately – for maximum security and customer satisfaction.


Predictive maintenance instead of unplanned downtime?

We help industrial customers centrally capture and analyze sensor data in real time. This identifies critical patterns before they lead to costly failures – your systems run when you need them.

Fantastic introduction to Kafka basics! The clear explanations and practical examples make the concepts easy to understand. The interactive course was a lot of fun!

Julia Hein
Product Owner
VP Bank

The trainer was incredibly friendly and explained everything clearly! The interactive labs with practical tests were a definite highlight. As a special touch, we received great goodies and a Kafka book with a personal note!

Marcel Singer
IT-Consultant
Brockhaus AG

The training offers fascinating insights into Kafka. Anatoly ensured that even a 'Business Guy with some IT background' could follow along. Highly recommended for anyone working with or planning to work with Kafka.

Peter Oglecki
Team Lead

This training was truly impactful and opened my eyes to new perspectives. It covered numerous useful topics, and I now feel much more confident working as a DevOps engineer operating a Kafka cluster.

Endre Vig

MSG Systems

The training was not only interesting but also exciting, with a relaxed yet focused atmosphere. The mix of theory and practice was perfect. Even participants with little prior knowledge could easily follow along.
