Average rating 4.9
I found the system architecture flow very helpful. Although the course is labeled as beginner-level, the infrastructure used does not seem to be at a beginner level. Personally, I prefer live coding over reviewing AI-generated code, so I liked that aspect. However, I am more familiar with Java, so the Kotlin syntax was unfamiliar to me. I also changed the package names as I pleased before starting the course, and since I ran K6 in a container from Windows Git Bash, the shell script tests actually made the learning process more difficult. Some people may find it convenient to copy and paste the shell script tests, but I personally did not like them. I found the flow of the K6 and shell script tests more difficult to follow than expected, and I feel that I may forget the test flow again when I look at it after some time has passed. Nevertheless, I think it is a good course that will be very helpful to learners from an architectural perspective and in terms of utilizing Redis.

Hello, SPRING! Thank you for leaving such a detailed course review along with a great rating! We’re glad to hear that the course was helpful in understanding the flow of system architecture and how Redis is used, and that you also enjoyed the live-coding approach. At the same time, we understand that the infrastructure topics covered in the course may have felt more difficult than beginner-level material, and we’ll pay closer attention to the difficulty level and course structure going forward. We’ll also take note of your feedback that unfamiliar Kotlin syntax and shell script–based tests may have made the learning process more difficult. Nevertheless, thank you for completing the entire course and leaving such a high rating along with detailed feedback. Based on your comments, we’ll continue improving the course to make it even better. Thank you 🙇♂️
