Grokking the Advanced System Design Interview

Companies are increasingly turning to questions of system design today, and they are becoming a key element in interviews for software engineer positions. For Senior-level specialists, discussing architectural solutions often holds more importance than solving algorithmic problems. A system design interview provides an opportunity to showcase real design skills and the ability to create complex distributed systems. Successfully passing such interviews directly increases the chances of securing a high-level position and more competitive compensation. This course presents an architectural analysis of well-known distributed systems. Its goal is to highlight key engineering decisions and approaches that are most significant in the context of system design interviews. Additionally, the course includes an overview of system design patterns that reflect typical architectural issues and proven solutions that have been developed in the industry over many years of working with high-load systems.
