Optimizing KurrentDB


If you're responsible for maintaining the performance, reliability, and long-term efficiency of your KurrentDB deployment, you're in the right place. This course is designed to give you hands-on, practical experience in applying KurrentDB's optimization tools and maintenance strategies, whether you're managing a single instance or supporting a distributed production cluster.

Optimizing KurrentDB is not just about saving disk space—it's about building a scalable, resilient, and cost-effective system. In this course, you’ll explore core topics such as scavenging old data, archiving to external storage, performing safe backups and restores, and monitoring system health through built-in endpoints, metrics, and observability integrations. You’ll also learn how to apply best practices to keep your system running smoothly under load.

Let’s get started!

This course equips developers, site reliability engineers, and system operators with the practical knowledge to keep KurrentDB optimized and production-ready.


By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to optimize KurrentDB for performance and durability, ensuring your event data remains available, manageable, and ready for the future.
