Course Structure for System Design Interview Prep Crash Course

Explore the course structure of a system design interview crash course that teaches you to master fundamental building blocks such as load balancers, databases, and DNS. Understand how these elementary problems form the basis for advanced system designs, and prepare efficiently by learning reusable components applied in real-world cloud environments.

The bottom-up approach to modern system design

System design problems usually have similarities, though specific details are often unique. We have extracted these similarities across design problems as the elementary design problems we’ll cover. One example of an elementary design problem is a load-balancing component, which we’ll probably use in every design problem in one way or the other.

Separating the elementary design problems is to thoroughly discuss their design just once. This means that later we can use them anywhere ...
