Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

System Design is the foundational skill required to build scalable, reliable, and efficient software architectures. Whether you're preparing for technical interviews or aiming to become a proficient backend engineer, understanding how large-scale systems are conceptualized, structured, and managed is vital. This course demystifies the core ideas behind system design, helping learners bridge the gap between coding and architecting real-world applications.

This course begins with a foundational overview of what system design is and why it matters, followed by essential terminology and the distinction between high- and low-level design. You’ll then explore how to gather system requirements, focusing on key metrics like availability, scalability, security, and reliability. The course dives into critical system components across two modules, covering DNS, caching, load balancing, proxies, message queues, SQL/NoSQL databases, threading, and content delivery networks. In the design patterns section, you’ll learn concepts like CAP, ACID, replication, and the producer-consumer model. The final modules offer hands-on case studies—designing a Taxi Hailing App, a Twitter-like social network, and a URL shortening service—by applying design principles from scoping to high- and low-level designs.

Gain clarity on modern system architecture, essential design patterns, and practical strategies to build real-world scalable applications.
