This course was created to solve a common problem many people face while preparing for developer jobs: "I studied CS and data structures, but I get tongue-tied during interviews." While conducting actual interviews at companies like Naver, Kakao, and Toss, I noticed that most candidates have memorized concepts but cannot explain why those concepts are necessary or how they are applied in real-world situations. Rather than simple rote memorization, this course teaches you how to understand the interviewer's intent and provide more persuasive answers to the same questions. Whether it's the OSI 7 layers, data structures, or coding tests, we focus on why you need to know them, when they are used, and how to speak about them to receive a positive evaluation in an interview. This course is for those who want to become developers who can explain what they understand in their own words, rather than just giving the same answers as everyone else.

Most developers are still stuck on Batch and CronJobs when it comes to data processing. However, in real-world production environments, data is generated continuously, and failing to process that flow immediately leads to latency, bottlenecks, and consistency issues. Having personally dealt with real-time recommendations, state synchronization, and event delay problems in high-traffic environments, I’ve often asked myself, "Is batch processing really the right approach for this?" This course begins with that very question. It explores how to use Apache Flink to perform computations the moment data flows, manage state securely, and produce accurate results based on Event Time—all from a practical perspective. Beyond simple theoretical explanations, you will experience how real-time stream processing systems are designed and operated through actual source code and architectures. For those who found real-time processing vague or were curious about the world beyond messaging, this course will provide a clear sense of direction.

How will you handle exploding traffic? Learn how to build resilient and flexibly scalable architectures through practical EDA (Event-Driven Architecture) design patterns using Kafka, Spring, CDC, and Temporal.

A practice-oriented course covering everything from real-time data flow and event processing to microservice integration!

You may have felt frustrated using Redis without being able to explain why it should be designed that way or why certain patterns emerged. Through my experience in both practical development and as an interviewer, I have treated Redis not just as a simple cache, but as a core component that determines service stability and scalability. This course is not about memorizing commands; instead, I will share my experiences on which structures to choose in real traffic environments and their trade-offs, helping you establish the criteria to explain these concepts confidently in both interviews and practical work.

Going beyond simple gRPC practice, you'll learn how to implement stable and efficient inter-service communication in real production environments where hundreds of microservices operate simultaneously. Based on Golang, the course covers Protocol Buffers (proto) syntax writing, automatic code generation and service implementation, gRPC structure and advantages over existing RPC, and performance optimization strategies with a practical focus. To ensure easy understanding for non-majors and server development beginners, the course provides step-by-step explanations from RPC concepts to gRPC's internal operating principles, enabling you to develop practical skills that can be immediately applied to real services.

At some point in backend development, you start to have these concerns. It's that moment when services expand and traffic increases, and you begin to feel the limitations of simple REST communication and CRUD structures. I experienced these same issues in the field and went through much trial and error balancing performance and structural complexity. The solution I chose during that process was NATS. Its simple configuration based on a single binary, ultra-low latency performance in microseconds, and the fact that it provides essential features—from Pub/Sub to Queue Groups and JetStream—without being overkill made it a very practical choice for real-world service environments. This course is not just a list of NATS features. Based on the problems I faced in practice, I explain through code and workflows why I chose NATS in certain situations and how I designed the architecture. This course is designed to help everyone—from those new to messaging systems to backend developers preparing for employment and senior developers considering better architectures—understand distributed systems and grow to the next level.

This course explores microservice architecture and distributed environments not as a simple list of technologies, but from a 'design perspective' required in actual work and interviews. Starting from the differences between monolithic and MSA, it progressively covers incremental migration strategies, modular monoliths, clean architecture and hexagonal architecture, clearly explaining why each choice is necessary and the trade-offs involved. Through hands-on practice, you can directly verify the intent of the structure and learn about core issues inevitably encountered in distributed environments—such as data consistency, transactions, inter-service communication, and failure handling—through realistic scenarios. Based on actual questions and perspectives from Kakao interviewers, this course aims to go beyond simple knowledge acquisition and elevate your way of thinking about distributed systems to the next level.

This course focuses on solving the problem of getting stuck in interviews and practical work due to a lack of understanding of why certain structures and configurations are necessary, rather than just teaching how to configure NGINX. Based on experience evaluating numerous candidates as an interviewer for companies like Naver, Kakao, and Toss, I explain how to describe and utilize NGINX from the perspectives of performance, scalability, and operations through hands-on practice. The core of this course is to help you develop a mindset capable of tracing traffic flow and troubleshooting problems, rather than just memorizing configuration values.
