Scale Your Future: An Immersive Engineering Programme
summary
Slack partners with Code Your Future to run CF Plus, a 1‑month self study then 3‑month intensive program and 9‑month internship that teaches SRE skills with hands‑on projects. Trainees learn Go and observability with OpenTelemetry, build a Raft‑based key/value store from a research paper, create distributed image pipelines using Terraform and Kafka, and practice broken‑Linux troubleshooting across 13 projects in five sprints. The placement codifies 200+ monitoring tests, cuts bills ~30%, and results in both interns receiving full‑time offers after six months.
