Outline the Basic Design
Explore how to outline a basic system design by probing detailed requirements, defining problem scope, and assessing system scale. Understand how to create high-level architecture diagrams and select appropriate databases to balance trade-offs. This lesson prepares you to navigate ambiguity and communicate your design effectively in program manager interviews.
We have discussed a few concepts of system design in the past few chapters. All of these concepts will get used in our design. For the system design questions, we need to focus on learning how to answer interview questions. Let us jump into designing the systems.
The most crucial concept for designing the system is to understand the requirement in detail.
Probe the interviewer
Systems are complex, and it is next to impossible to consider all the trade-offs in just a one-hour interview. On the other hand, the ...
