# X-Stream Lab. Hands-On Stream Processing Workshops

Write code. Deploy applications. Break things and fix them. Guided by the engineers who run Apache Flink daily.

## What Are X-Stream Labs

Full-day workshops. Small groups. Ververica engineers at the whiteboard and in the code alongside you.

Every X-Stream Lab is structured around a production-grade project. You build a working application from ingestion to output.  Your hands on the keyboard, deploying to a live Ververica Platform environment.

Groups are capped at 30 participants. Questions get answered. Problems get debugged. Nobody falls behind.

### Real Life Adoption

Work through a complete scenario that reflects a real-world stream processing use case from ingestion to output.
