AKBA's honest review, Introduction to Elasticsearch for Real-World Use (Search Optimization Edition) course

I skipped the parts I felt I already knew a bit about while taking the course. Even though it has been about a year since the course was released, I was able to complete it without getting lost as much as I expected. I conducted the hands-on practice by updating the Spring and Elasticsearch versions to the latest ones. Although the current Elastic Cloud interface has changed slightly from the lecture, the core content and flow remained the same, so there were almost no issues in studying. Both the theory and practice were meticulously structured, covering even the easily missed details, so there were no problems at all following along with the exercises. Since the explanations focused on features and concepts that are actually used a lot in practice, I think it will be especially helpful for those learning Elasticsearch for the first time or trying to grasp the overall flow. Of course, for areas I wanted to study in more depth, I had to research and learn on my own outside of the lecture. However, personally, I don't think a course needs to cover every single detail, and I believe that seeking out necessary information independently is a learning attitude a developer should have, so I didn't feel anything was lacking. Rather, because the lecture captured the important core concepts so well, it was great for expanding and studying necessary parts on my own afterward. Thanks to the great materials and informative content, I was able to enjoy my studies. Thank you!
