Kim Young-han's Practical Database - Performance Optimization, Complete Mastery of Execution Plans and Indexes

"A query that ran perfectly during development suddenly slows down as data accumulates." At such times, the mark of a truly skilled developer is identifying the root cause based on solid evidence rather than guesswork, and optimizing a 30-second query down to 0.1 seconds. Master the core principles of database performance—from execution plans, indexes, and optimizers to joins and sorting—using millions of rows of real-world data. Elevate your skills and become a top-tier developer capable of independently analyzing and resolving slow queries in production environments.

Hello. I sincerely congratulate you, Kim Young-han, on completing your incredible 7-year journey! I have been taking your classes ever since my first one in January 2023, eagerly waiting for the notifications of new course releases to pop up. Looking back now at those late-night study sessions after work, rubbing my sleepy eyes to stay awake, I sometimes wonder how I managed to keep at it. It was grueling and a bit daunting, but it also filled me with immense pride and happiness. It has been a tremendous privilege and a source of great pride to have accompanied you to the very end of this monumental journey, one in which you poured your heart and soul into every meticulous detail. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for tirelessly completing this remarkable roadmap over the past 7 years.

I have signed up for and taken courses on Inflearn worth well over a million won. Among them, the lectures that helped my development career the most were all by Young-han. Rather than obvious content that any developer would already know, his lectures focus on real-world practical experience and clearly scratch the itch regarding parts that developers often find confusing while studying alone. Also, I really appreciated how he always answers class questions with such sincerity. Thank you for always producing great lectures. I look forward to the next one.

What you will gain after the course

  • The ability to read an execution plan and independently diagnose the cause of a slow query.

  • The ability to independently design indexes tailored to specific situations.

  • Real-World Experience in Optimizing Queries by 10x to 100x Across Millions of Data Records

  • Understanding Database Internals Beyond Indexes
