Wrapping Up the Building Blocks Discussion
Get an overview of what we have learned and what is yet to be discussed.
We have introduced several fundamental building blocks to help us solve more complex design problems. In the upcoming chapters, we will tackle various system design challenges, applying the building blocks we’ve learned.
What’s next?
In the coming chapters, we’ll explore distinct system design problems, mainly in the following areas:
Social media and video sharing
Location-based and proximity services
Content and data management
Web services and tools, etc.
Next, you will see a focus on the actual design problem at hand rather than how the building blocks work. As we move forward, we’ll assume you’re familiar with these building blocks and will use them in our coming design problems.
Let’s get started!
