System Design for Beginners Course

This course is a detailed introduction to system design for software developers and engineers.

Building large-scale distributed systems like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter requires an in-depth understanding of computer science principles. This allows systems to handle millions of users concurrently despite hardware failures.

We discuss the fundamental concepts of system design in this course like requirement selection, API design, Database Design, Network protocols, Fault-tolerance, design trade-offs, solution tradeoffs, and low-level design.
