AKBA's honest review, Server System Design for Withstanding Traffic Spikes - Coupon Issuance Service course

[Overall Review] Rather than merely providing an overall introduction to the architecture, this course created problem scenarios and explained the What, Why, and How in depth. I was able to learn not only what to use, but also why it is needed and how to apply it. I mainly use Python, but I am also studying Kotlin and Spring separately, so I had no major difficulty following the course. I personally learned a great deal, and for that very reason, it was difficult to fully digest all the content in a single pass. It was a sufficiently in-depth course that I wanted to watch it at least twice and review the material. In terms of difficulty, it may be a little challenging for beginners, but it is a course worth taking despite that difficulty. [Points for Improvement] I practiced in a Windows environment, and some of the test scripts in the latter part of the course were difficult to run as-is in PowerShell, so I had to modify them and proceed in a different way. I was able to resolve the issues with the help of AI, but it took some time to adapt them to my environment. It would be very helpful if Windows-specific test scripts or execution instructions could be provided separately in the future. I tend to write the code myself in order to understand the logic as thoroughly as possible, so lectures longer than 30 minutes sometimes felt somewhat burdensome to study as a single lesson. Of course, I also understand the intention to explain a single topic without interrupting its flow. It was a great course.
