Design systems around the four pillars—scalability, availability, reliability, and performance—using horizontal scaling with load balancers, database replication, caching, and async processing, while embracing trade-offs.
Compare monolith and microservice architectures by highlighting separate services, dedicated databases, API gateway, and selective scaling, and decide when to adopt each approach.
Learn to design containerized systems with Docker and Kubernetes, packaging apps via Dockerfiles and images, using registries, volumes, and networks, and deploying through GitOps with CI/CD and Argo CD.
Design a machine learning system for Google ads CTR prediction by modeling impressions and clicks to optimize CTR, addressing data drift, bias, and model drift while avoiding hard-coded rules.
Compare batch and online learning, detailing real-time data collection, ETL processing, silver and gold layers, and nightly retraining for marketing clusters; map to a data pipeline from apps to inference.
Design a Facebook content moderation system that detects hate speech and dangerous content in text, scalable to billions of users. Includes logging reasons, latency, and a GraphQL and Kafka workflow.
Explore how Facebook moderates content at scale with Cassandra and SkylarDB, leveraging semi-supervised learning, embeddings, hard attention, teacher and student models, pseudo labeling, and retraining.
Designs an end-to-end ai grammar checker system with api gateway, kubernetes inference, kafka streaming, and databricks processing; it emphasizes moderation, batch learning, monitoring, and scalable deployment.
Choose a foundation model, supervised fine-tuning with a question-answer data set and ideal feedback, then train a reward model via human validation for RLHF, and deploy with evaluation for safety.
Design a deep research AI system that handles 100k+ daily requests with multi-agent workflows and knowledge graphs, fault-tolerant reliability, and enterprise-grade efficiency for document uploads, ETL, chunking, and vector storage.
Most engineers can build AI applications.
Very few engineers can design AI systems that scale.
As AI adoption grows, companies need engineers who understand not just models and APIs, but also the architecture, scalability, reliability, and infrastructure behind production AI systems.
This course focuses entirely on AI System Design and teaches how modern AI products are architected, scaled, and optimized in real world environments.
Through practical case studies, you will learn how technologies such as LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, Vector Databases, FastAPI, Databricks, and modern MLOps and LLMOps pipelines work together to power enterprise AI applications. You will also learn architecture patterns used in Machine Learning, Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Semi Supervised Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Computer Vision systems.
Whether you are transitioning into AI Engineering, preparing for AI System Design interviews, or building AI powered products, this course will help you think like a Senior AI Engineer and AI Architect.
