    About This Course

    This elite 24-week program transforms experienced database engineers into database architects and performance experts. You will master database internals including buffer pools, WAL, MVCC, and storage engines. You will become an expert in query optimization using EXPLAIN plans, indexing strategies, and query rewriting techniques. The course covers production operations including monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, replication and high availability with Patroni, backup and recovery strategies, and zero-downtime migrations. You will understand distributed database concepts including Raft consensus and distributed transactions. Through challenging performance projects and a comprehensive 8-week capstone building a production-grade database system, you will develop the skills needed for senior database engineer, database architect, and staff engineer positions. Our Human Intelligence approach ensures you develop the performance intuition that distinguishes expert database engineers.
