Overview

You bring schema sketches; we stress-test them against read-heavy and write-heavy patterns. The course emphasizes trade-offs: fill factors, INCLUDE columns, and how to validate hypotheses with measured plans instead of folklore.

What is included

  • Index sketch reviews with coach annotations
  • Write amplification exercises on synthetic workloads
  • Template for proposing rollbacks
  • Office hours on partial indexes
  • Peer review swap with another attendee

Outcomes

  • Ship an index proposal with measured before/after plans
  • List maintenance risks in plain language for release notes
  • Pick partial vs full indexes using a simple decision tree

Primary coach

Min-jun Park

Builds progressive labs that mirror messy production traces, not toy datasets.

FAQ

Will we tune my employer schema?

You work on anonymized stand-ins. Sharing proprietary DDL in the forum is discouraged.

Are textbooks included?

Digital reader packets are included; printed binders are not.

Limitations?

Columnstore-specific guidance is out of scope for this cohort.

Experience notes

  • Our Index Strategy Studio workbook is pinned above my desk—the partial-index flowchart alone saved a messy rollout.
