What's inside
Insights on scaling, transactions, logging, and more Practice questions for core system design concepts How to demonstrate your engineering maturity Great questions to ask your interviewer
Part 1 of the book begins with an informative survey of critical aspects of system design. Starting with non-functional requirements, you’ll learn about many of the common dimensions that you must keep in mind while considering system design tradeoffs. Following an elaboration on , you will walk through how to organize the application programming interface (API) specification to explain how your system design addresses the use cases of the interview problem statement. Behind the API, you’ll learn several industry best practices for organizing the system data model using industry-standard datastores and patterns for managing distributed transactions. And beyond addressing the prima facie use cases, you’ll learn about key aspects of system operation, including modern approaches to observability and log management.
In part 2, ride along for 11 distinct system design problems, from text messaging to Airbnb. In each interview problem, you can pick up new skills on how to tease out the right questions to organize the non-functional system requirements, followed by what tradeoffs to invest in further discussion. System design is a skill set often rooted in an experience that lends itself well to learning from prior art and examples based on others’ experiences. If you internalize the many lessons and wisdom from the examples presented in this book, you’ll be well prepared for even the most challenging system design interview problems.
