System design interviews play a vital role in hiring software engineers and managers. These interviews test the ability of the candidate to solve problems under different constraints. A candidate’s performance in a system design interview is a significant factor in deciding the hire/no-hire decisions and the level assigned to the incoming candidate.

In this course, you’ll go through a miniature form of our primary course on system design: Grokking Modern System Design Interview for Engineers & Managers. This crash course aims to give you an overall gist of the system designing process using short, easy-to-digest problems. Each design problem of the course can be completed in about 15 minutes, giving you the flexibility to include them in your jam-packed schedules.

# Introduction
A **web crawler** is an Internet bot that systematically #key# scours: To go or move swiftly about, over, or through in search of something. #key# the world wide web (WWW) for content, starting its operation from a pool of #key# seed URLs: Stored URLs that serve as a starting point for a crawler. #key#. This process of acquiring content from the WWW is called **crawling**. It further saves the crawled content in the data stores. The process of efficiently saving data for subsequent use is called storing.

This is the first step that’s performed by search engines; the stored data is used for indexing and ranking purposes. This specific design problem is limited to web crawlers and doesn’t include explanations of the later stages of indexing and ranking in search engines.
