System Design Primer ⭐️: How to start with distributed systems?

Systems design is the use of computer engineering principles to build large scale distributed systems. It involves converting business problems and requirements into technical solutions. Senior engineers use system design patterns to make reliable, scalable and maintainable systems.
We mention 10 tips/terms used by engineers when designing systems:
00:00 Intro
00:38 Vertical scaling
01:07 Preprocessing using cron jobs
01:31 Backup servers
02:12 Horizontal scaling
02:37 Microservices
04:00 Distributed Systems
05:24 Load Balancing
06:39 Decoupling
07:15 Logging and metrics calculation
07:45 Extensibility
08:38 Low-level system design

Design scalable systems is an important part of software engineering. Wishing you all the best! If you want to know more about system design, try get.interviewready.io

6 - the system was already distributed, this step is actually making it geographically distributed.

[@ashfaqrahman2795]

So this is how you feel when you actually love what you do.

[@gkcs]

Yup 😁

maybe its the other way around !!

1: vertical scaling: optimise precision and increase through put with the same resources 2: preprossing (e.g cron job) : prepare before hand during non pick hours 3: Backups: keep backups and avoid single point of failure 4: horizontal scaling: get more resources 5: micro service architecture 6: distributed system (partioning) 7: load distribution 8: Decoupling 9: Logging 10: extensible
