- Format
- Clinic rotations

- November
- Informational price
- 2,120,000 KRW
Description
We stress synthetic datasets to show partition skew visually. Teams propose shard keys, defend them, then watch simulated traffic disprove a few ego picks. Afternoons cover autoscale hysteresis so you do not thrash cloud cost ops signals.
What is included
- Skew radar charts from synthetic traffic
- Shard key defense panels
- Autoscale hysteresis worksheets
- Hotspot mitigation brainstorm with mentors
- Read replica lag exercises
- Queue fan-out vs instance fan-in comparisons
- Office hours on regional latency budgets
Outcomes
- Defend a shard key with simulated evidence
- Tune an autoscale policy sketch with hysteresis notes
- List three lag-sensitive reads and mitigation paths

FAQ
Cloud vendor specific?
We stay pragmatically neutral; you map policies to your provider after class.
Math heavy?
Expect spreadsheets and charts, not calculus proofs.
Not included?
No access to your live telemetry; bring anonymized exports only.
Experience notes
“Horizontal Scaling Patterns Clinic embarrassed our first shard key in the best way—data, not debate.”

Rated 5/5
“Half-day cadence fit our on-call rotation better than a bootcamp sprint.”
