System design questions have increasingly become an integral part of software engineering interviews. For senior engineers, the discussion around system design is considered even more important than solving a coding question. In a system design interview, you can show your real design skills and show how they will work with designing complex systems. It is a given that a good performance in system design interviews will get you a senior position and result in higher salaries.

This course presents the architectural review of famous distributed systems. The main goal is to extract out important design details that are relevant to system design interviews. The course also presents a list of system design patterns that constitute the common design problems and their solutions that different distributed systems have developed over time.
