Course Overview

System design questions have increasingly become an integral part of software engineering interviews. For senior engineers, the discussion around system design is considered even more important than solving a coding question. In a system design interview, you can show your real design skills and show how they will work with designing complex systems. It is a given that a good performance in system design interviews will get you a senior position and result in higher salaries. This course presents the architectural review of famous distributed systems. The main goal is to extract out important design details that are relevant to system design interviews. The course also presents a list of system design patterns that constitute the common design problems and their solutions that different distributed systems have developed over time.

Hey, I wasn't looking for interview materials but in general I wanted to learn about system design, and I bumped into 'Grokking the System Design Interview' on designgurus.io - it also walks you through popular apps like Instagram, Twitter, etc.👌

The famous "grokking the system design interview course" on http://designgurus.io is amazing. I used this for my MSFT interviews and I was told I nailed it.

The courses which have "grokking" before them, are exceptionally well put together! These courses magically condense 3 years of CS in short bite-size courses and lectures (I have tried System Design, OODI, and Coding patterns). The Grokking courses are godsent, to be honest.

Thanks for a great resource! You guys are a lifesaver. I struggled a lot in design interviews, and this course gave me an organized process to handle a design problem. Please keep adding more questions.
