Course Introduction

"Has that been deployed to the server?"
"The API is returning a 500 error."
"Let's check it on stage before reflecting it in production."

It's clearly Korean, but I can't understand a single word.

I was the exact same way when I was a new employee. There were times when I sat in the meeting room nodding my head, but my mind was a complete blank.

However, this isn't because you aren't smart. It's not that individual IT terms are difficult, but rather that they are so closely interconnected; if you don't understand those connections, nothing sticks no matter how much you memorize. This is why you still can't follow a meeting even after reading a glossary ten times.

That is why this lecture is not listed in alphabetical order like a dictionary. We will attach terms one by one while following the actual sequence of how a service operates.

Starting from the moment a user opens the app, to the request arriving at the server, being processed within, the developer fixing and redeploying the code, and how recovery happens if a failure occurs. Once you complete this full cycle, 60 terms will no longer be scattered pieces, but will remain as a single, cohesive picture in your mind.


Upon completing this course,

  • You will be able to follow the context of IT terminology used in meetings.

  • You will be able to visualize the structure of how a service operates in your head.

  • You will be able to read incident reports and deployment plans.

  • You will be ready to move on to the next level of courses, such as Linux, Network, and Cloud.

Hello, I'm Frank.

I am an infrastructure engineer who has been wrestling with servers for over 20 years. Starting with Linux server operations, I am now in charge of the cloud infrastructure for a large-scale payment service. My daily life involves migrating from data centers to AWS, managing hundreds of instances, and tracing the causes of failures in the early hours of the morning.

The reason I created this course is simple.

I often received questions like these from those around me: "I managed to connect to the server, but I don't know what to do next." "There are so many instance types; which one should I choose?" These are the exact same points where I got stuck at first. However, when I looked for resources, I found that most of them were written for people who already knew what they were doing.

So I decided to create the course I wish I had when I first started learning.

My lectures are based on three principles.

First, I help you understand rather than memorize. Instead of just listing commands, I explain why we use them in the first place.

Second, I boldly omit unnecessary content. I do not increase the volume by including information that is useless to beginners right now.

Third, I also talk about what doesn't work. Instead of just listing the pros, I clearly point out cases where it might not be a good fit. For someone who has to make decisions in the field, that is more important.

If you feel a sense of "Ah, I should start from here" after listening to the lecture, then my goal has been achieved.

Please feel free to leave any questions you may have at any time.
