System Design Unleashed series: Mastering the Art of Effective Solutions
I am assuming, since you are reading this blog post, that you understand what a System Design is, and why it is important in modern software. With that said, I won’t waste your time discussing the definitions of a system design, but I’ll briefly focus on the idea of the series.
Who is this series for?
This series will be useful to people who want to pass the system design interview or learn how to design systems efficiently. The aim is to create a free and comprehensive course, a one-stop shop, removing the need to jump from one online resource to another or spend hundreds of dollars to do so.
The structure of the series will be, pretty much as in any software architecture or system design book or course, understanding the foundations — building blocks, then jumping into concrete examples and wrapping it up with tips for the interview.
How is it different?
The main difference is going to be the number of concrete examples, as well as the multiple variations of the same problems with changed requirements. In addition, one of the drawbacks of many books/courses is that they stop on the abstraction level, and don’t discuss the implementation at all, i.e. don’t have a meaningful discussion on the technology choice. The plan is to address that issue as well.
