Take a quick refresher on the building blocks of modern systems, each component of which is a completely scalable application.

Deep Dive into System Design Interview

In this module, we’ll learn about the building blocks of modern systems, each component of which is a completely scalable application itself. These building blocks are the foundation for designing scalable applications. Each building block serves a unique purpose and has its own importance in scalable applications.

Basic Building Blocks for Modern System Design

Define the pub-sub abstraction, a core asynchronous communication pattern used in microservices and distributed systems. Understand how this pattern decouples producers and consumers, enabling greater scalability and independent development of system components.
