What you'll learn

Working with large, mature software systems can be challenging, particularly when documentation is incomplete and architectural knowledge is spread across a development team. In this course, Cursor at Scale, you'll gain the ability to use Cursor effectively throughout the lifecycle of maintaining an enterprise application. First, you'll explore how to rapidly understand unfamiliar codebases using Cursor's indexing, semantic search, and codebase exploration capabilities. Next, you'll discover how to generate and validate technical documentation, preserving architectural knowledge while recognizing where human review remains essential. Finally, you'll learn how to safely modernize legacy code, configure Cursor for collaborative development, and establish consistent AI-assisted workflows across engineering teams. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to apply Cursor confidently to real-world enterprise software development, enabling you to work more effectively while maintaining sound engineering practices.
