In this video, we walk you through Layrs — a LeetCode-style interactive platform for practicing System Design.

You’ll learn:
How to design a real-world system like a URL Shortener
How to effectively use Layrs’ interactive canvas
The importance of defining component properties
Why connected boxes aren’t enough — context matters
What makes a design interview-ready

At Layrs, we noticed a pattern: many system designs look complete, but miss crucial details — like what each component does, how it scales, and what it owns.

This walkthrough helps you break that pattern and elevate your designs.

We also share our motivation behind building Layrs: to give backend engineers and system design learners a structured, feedback-driven environment — just like LeetCode did for DSA.

Coming soon: LLD practice problems and much more.
