The downsides are the amount of time that it takes to do the project, mostly due to the copious number of times that we have to redeploy the whole project to AWS. Also, teaching camunda 7 which is going to be deprecated later this year seems a bit pointless...
The reviews below this point may be outdated. Course content, teaching methods, and requirements may have changed since then.
This course is very interesting for anyone who enjoys a challenge.
