What is the Database Architecture for High-Growth Systems course about?

Even well-designed databases buckle under rapid scale. Hidden inefficiencies in schema design, indexing strategy, and replication topology lead to cascading failures, costly rework, and system downtime. For database professionals in high-velocity environments, the pressure to deliver stability without sacrificing agility is constant, and often unsupported by practical, battle-tested guidance.
