Objectives
- Understand what system design is and how it differs from coding, architecture, and infrastructure
- Identify functional and non-functional requirements before designing a system
- Estimate users, traffic, load, requests per second, latency, throughput, and capacity
- Analyze scalability options, bottlenecks, hotspots, performance limits, cost, and complexity
- Design clear service boundaries, APIs, components, and communication flows
- Choose between synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns
- Understand data storage, caching, queues, background processing, indexing, and read optimization
- Design systems for failure, retries, idempotency, availability, reliability, and resilience
- Understand consistency, replication, redundancy, failover, and distributed system trade-offs
- Use observability concepts such as logs, metrics, traces, monitoring, and dashboards
- Reason about data ownership, partitioning, security, privacy, compliance, and architecture decisions
- Avoid common system design mistakes such as overengineering, hidden coupling, premature scaling, and unclear ownership
Pre Requisites
- Basic understanding of software development concepts
- Basic knowledge of how web applications work
- Familiarity with APIs, databases, and backend systems is helpful, but not required
- No advanced system design experience is needed
- No specific programming language is required
- A willingness to think about trade-offs, constraints, scalability, reliability, and real-world architecture decisions
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
