Real Database Skills for Real-World Challenges Master What Actually Matters
Most database courses teach theory. We focus on what you'll actually use when production systems fail at 3 AM. Our programs blend hands-on recovery scenarios, performance troubleshooting, and architecture decisions that companies face daily.
We Focus on Three Core Areas
Every module connects back to situations you'll encounter on the job. Our instructors built these around questions they answered hundreds of times in production environments.
Performance Optimization
Learn to identify bottlenecks before users complain. We cover index strategies, query analysis, and resource allocation — using real database workloads from e-commerce and financial systems.
Disaster Recovery
When backups fail or data gets corrupted, you need skills beyond documentation. Our recovery labs simulate actual failure scenarios including hardware issues, ransomware impacts, and user errors.
Architecture Decisions
Should you replicate or cluster? When does sharding make sense? We work through decision frameworks based on actual infrastructure migrations and scaling projects from Taiwan's tech sector.

Built by DBAs Who've Been There
Our curriculum comes from 15 years of managing production databases across industries. We started Glowmindlogic in 2019 after training internal teams at financial institutions and realizing most education misses practical elements.
Students work through progressive scenarios — starting with basic monitoring and building toward complex migrations. By the end, you're handling situations similar to what mid-level administrators face.
Foundation Phase
Three months covering database fundamentals, backup systems, and monitoring tools. You'll set up test environments and practice routine maintenance tasks.
Application Phase
Four months working with realistic datasets and simulated production issues. Focus shifts to troubleshooting, optimization, and capacity planning.
Capstone Projects
Final two months involve complex scenarios based on actual incidents. You'll document decisions, present solutions, and build portfolio pieces.
What Recent Graduates Say
Our programs prepare people for database roles, though job placement depends on market conditions and individual effort. These perspectives come from students who completed our 2024 cohorts.

2024 Graduate, now Junior DBA
The recovery labs were intense but incredibly useful. When I started my current role, I already knew how to handle backup failures and corruption issues. My manager was surprised I could troubleshoot problems that typically take new hires weeks to learn.
