Should provide the notes a cheat sheet for the topic covered as that revision becomes easier. Also as example the diagram missed the kafka events when describing SAGA patterns. also, how those events consumed

This is gold. I wish you create more such slides on varying topics and also is there a way to download the slides? All topics revised in a brief manner, thank you!

The questions are in logical categories, and quite well explained. Using small pieces of code to explain the concepts is also a great idea. I already know microserices' concepts but I still managed to learn quite a bit and found where I have gaps.

It was an insightful series of high-level lectures on Microservices. I believe the knowledge gained will be instrumental in helping me prepare for my upcoming interview.

Suggestions for Improvement: Depth of Content: Some topics could be explored in more depth for better understanding. Additional Resources: Providing more supplementary materials and reading resources could enhance the learning experience. Pacing: The pace of the course could be adjusted to better suit learners who may need more time to grasp certain concepts.

Very useful course, I got all microservices concepts under one roof, I request you to make a each concept coding example video or share if already there.
By Jaikrat Singh Tariyal on 6/26/2023
Good 2 hours spent. Never felt bored. Got some interesting topics to cover. But better examples could have been used with a few more practical use cases instead of just reading the PPT.
By Anonymized User on 6/10/2023
A good starting point for beginners. this course gives crisp knowledge and definition of each important component. i would recommend anyone who is starting out on microservices to go and finish this course. then dig deeper into each element taught in this course.
By Lara Zubaidia on 6/5/2023
This Course is really useful for anybody who is preparing for Microservices interviews as it highlights all the concepts that you need to brush up on, at least it can help you remember what you already know & go to know further about what you forget or don't know. I really recommend it for anybody who is hesitating whether to get it or not.
