What to Expect from this Course

This course is designed for anyone preparing for system design interviews or looking to level up their architectural skills, regardless of their current role:

  • Interview Candidates: If you are preparing for system design interviews at top-tier tech companies (FAANG/MAANG), this course provides the exact structure and depth expected by interviewers.

  • Software Engineers (Junior to Senior): If you write code every day but want to understand how your services fit into the bigger picture, this course will bridge that gap.

  • Engineering Managers & Architects: If you need a refresher on modern distributed systems patterns to lead your teams better or make high-level technical decisions.

  • Computer Science Students: If you want to move beyond academic theory and understand how massive applications are built in the real industry.

  • Product Managers (Technical): If you want to better understand the complexities your engineering team faces and communicate more effectively about technical trade-offs.

What to Expect from this Course

By the end of this 14-day journey, you will be able to:

  • Deconstruct Complex Problems: You will learn how to take a vague requirement like "Design Netflix" and break it down into manageable, actionable technical components.

  • Master the Building Blocks: You will gain deep familiarity with essential tools like Load Balancers, CDNs, Distributed Caches (Redis), Message Queues (Kafka), and NoSQL databases.

  • Handle Scale: You will learn strategies to handle millions of users and petabytes of data using partitioning, sharding, and replication.

  • Design for Reliability: You will understand how to build systems that stay online even when servers fail, using techniques like leader election and quorum consistency.

  • Analyze Trade-offs: You will stop looking for the "perfect" solution and start looking for the "right" solution by weighing consistency against availability (CAP Theorem) and latency against throughput.

  • Follow a Proven Framework: You will internalize our 14-step design method, giving you a structured way to tackle any new system design problem you face in the future.
