What is the Fixing Java Scalability Blocks course about?

Even experienced Java teams at MongoDB-compatible scale face recurring friction when services hit volume: inefficient POJO-to-document mapping, connection leaks under load, and query patterns that bypass indexing strategies. These aren’t one-time bugs , they’re systemic gaps in how Java layers are designed to interact with document structures. The result? Weekly standups dominated by performance debt, last-minute patching, and inconsistent ownership between backend.
