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 core concept of a key-value store, explaining its function as a distributed hash table (DHT). Understand why these systems are essential for modern web-scale applications, offering high availability and scalability. Learn the foundational requirements for designing a reliable key-value system.
