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.

Yup 😁

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

I love the analogies you use to explain these usually hard to grasp concepts. Thank you! 🙏

[@naasim]

I don't think anybody could explain this in a better way. Taking a real world scenario and explaining it the right way!!! Kudos to you. Its my first time here, and subscribed already 👍

[@mrscarnegie]

You said something so important: figure out all the elements, then sign technical names. Such a beautiful insight.

[@yanndetaf5725]

I really like the fact you are using analogies with real-life scenarios as a way to make complex technical concepts understandable. Great job 👍

[@makenakong]

Amazing. I've never understood such a complex concept so easily. I watched it a second time, not because you didn't explain things perfectly the first time, but because I liked the way you explained it so much.

[@gkcs]

Thank you 😁

I love all these videos man, it's right up my alley. After taking a class on Distributed Systems at my University in the US, I fell in love with it.The programming assignments such as building a distributed file system or building a batch processing system were probably the most challenging I ever had at school. Watching your videos makes me want to get more into learning system design and distributed systems, maybe by going for a Masters in the near future where I can learn about it more in depth and hopefully be able to apply the concepts to real world applications.
