Training
Training that sticks because it uses your actual code, not toy examples.
Generic training doesn't change how people work. We tailor everything to your stack, your codebase, and the specific habits you want to build. What engineers learn on day one, they can apply on day two.
We focus on JVM and Spring Boot teams: modernization, testing strategy, and the delivery tooling that makes releases less stressful. We also run clean code and test craftsmanship sessions for teams that want to raise the bar without grinding everything to a halt.
Popular workshops
JVM & Spring Boot in production
Practical service design for Spring teams: configuration, dependency boundaries, resilience patterns, and operational readiness.
Developer Owned Testing
Unit, integration, and contract testing with clear boundaries; Testcontainers patterns and fast, reliable feedback loops.
Clean code & maintainable design
Readable code, refactoring techniques, and API design practices that reduce bugs, review cycles, and long-term maintenance cost.
Modernization playbooks
Framework and runtime upgrades, open rewrite recipes, characterization testing, and phased rollouts for legacy applications.
DevOps & delivery fundamentals
CI/CD design, trunk-based development, deployment strategies, and rollback-first operations for service teams.
Observability in practice
Tracing, metrics, logs, and alert design using real services to shorten debugging time and reduce recurring incidents.
Formats
1–2 days Workshops
Focused topics with labs, exercises, and a practical playbook your team can apply immediately.
4–8 weeks Cohort training
Weekly sessions plus applied homework, reviews, and a capstone aligned to your systems.
Ongoing Team coaching
Embedded guidance: pairing, design reviews, and "raise the bar" code review practices.
How we work
-
Discover
Align on outcomes, current pain points, and constraints. We review representative code and workflows to choose the smallest set of practices that will meaningfully change day-to-day work.
-
Teach
Deliver the core concepts with hands-on labs. Sessions are grounded in real patterns (not toy examples) and focus on practices teams can repeat without external help.
-
Apply
We bring the practices to your codebase. Exercises map to your stack, and we leave behind templates, examples, and checklists that teams can reuse.
-
Reinforce
Follow-up reviews and coaching so changes actually stick: code review calibration, test strategy check-ins, and small refactoring playbooks that scale.
The goal isn't just knowledge transfer. We're after durable behavior change. We'd rather cover three things deeply and have them stick than cover fifteen things and have none of them survive the next sprint.
Deliverables
- Workshop materials and lab repo: exercises, solutions, and runnable examples aligned to your stack.
- Playbooks and checklists: modernization steps, testing boundaries, code review guidelines, and release hygiene.
- Reference implementations: example PRs or modules demonstrating the agreed patterns in practice.
- Templates: service skeletons, test harness patterns, CI snippets, and observability defaults (when relevant).
- Recommendations: prioritized next steps and a lightweight roadmap for continued adoption.
Outcomes
- Cleaner codebases: consistent style, better boundaries, and lower review friction.
- Stronger test suites: faster feedback, less flakiness, and clearer coverage strategy.
- More reliable delivery: safer releases, fewer regressions, and improved operational readiness.
- Reusable building blocks: templates and playbooks that accelerate future work.
