What developers say about our System Design courses

A very good, well-structured overview of modern system design, which helped reinforce existing knowledge. The AI-driven questions allowed me to think through various scenarios and made it an interactive experience, and I’m looking forward to more Educative content.

Mike Rabatin

I found the course incredibly helpful in breaking down complex System Design concepts into digestible steps. The structured format — starting from requirements, moving through high-level architecture, and diving into trade-offs — made it much easier to internalize key design principles.

I was looking for a course on System Design which will cover everything and *help me clear interviews at the best companies, and Educative’s course was by far the best and the most comprehensive.
