Course Info:

Every senior software engineer, module lead, team lead, and the project manager must have in-depth conceptual knowledge and skillset, to handle future applications that will generate very large volumes of data. Knowledge about data alone is not sufficient; one must know the end-to-end hardware and software stack on which the data resides and moves.

The mantra is – Scale, Speed & Security.

This course will enable them to be fully independent in conceptualizing, designing and implementing internet scale applications of the future.
