This course will help you confidently prepare for advanced system design interview questions—in less than 5 hours. As foundational systems underpin our modern software landscape, the case studies in this course will prepare you with actionable knowledge to design and evaluate any distributed system.
This course streamlines system design interview prep by providing you an understanding of real-world distributed systems. You’ll learn about systems from hyperscalers, such as Google File System (GFS) and Amazon DynamoDB. Next, you will make the most out of your interview prep time by learning to build 9 seminal systems (with each design problem taking only 15–30 minutes). All the while, you’ll learn and apply principles of modern system design as you see them implemented in real-world case studies.
After taking this course, you’ll be able to confidently approach design problems in your next system design interview.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
