What is the Architecting Scalable Data Systems course about?

Most data engineers rise into leadership only to face systems that were never designed to scale. Downtime spikes, compliance gaps, and technical debt accumulate silently, until momentum stalls. The pressure isn’t just technical; it’s about delivering reliability while leading teams through ambiguity. Traditional courses teach components. This one teaches cohesion.
