What Interview Officials at Kakao Tell You: Distributed Environment You Must Know

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.
