Course content

1 section • 12 lectures • 1h 20m total length

  • Introduction3:52

    Learn the basics of scalable system design, focusing on reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Explore fault tolerance, backups, monitoring, testing, and abstractions that help systems stay reliable, scalable, and maintainable.

  • Load Balancers6:43

    Learn how load balancers distribute client requests across web servers, application servers, and databases to improve responsiveness and availability, using health checks and algorithms like round-robin.

  • Caching3:46

    Apply caching to store frequently requested data in a local cache, reducing database calls and latency while improving throughput through locality of reference.

  • Types of Caches4:30

    Explore cache strategies such as write-through, write-behind, and write-around, weighing their trade-offs in latency, consistency, and data freshness for scalable systems.

  • Cache Eviction Policies3:13

    Implement cache eviction policies in scalable system design by examining least recently used, least frequently used, and most recently used strategies to replace data based on future access patterns.

  • Data Partitioning12:42

    Explore data partitioning techniques, including vertical and horizontal partitioning, and learn how sharding distributes data across shards to enable horizontal scaling and reduce the single point of failure.

  • Data Redundancy6:52

    Explore data replication and redundancy to improve reliability, availability, and reduced latency, while examining shared nothing architecture and master-slave replication trade-offs, including more storage, update costs, and data consistency.

  • SQL Vs NoSQL11:18

    Explore relational vs non-relational databases, including RDBMS, key-value, document, columnar, and graph stores, and learn when to scale horizontally for performance and flexibility.

  • CAP Theorem3:35

    Explain the cap theorem in distributed systems by showing how consistency, availability, and partition tolerance trade off, letting you pick two of three.

  • Consistent Hashing11:44

    Explains consistent hashing as a scalable approach for distributed hash tables, using a ring of servers and virtual replicas to minimize key remapping when nodes join or leave.

  • Message Queues5:02

    Learn how message queues enable asynchronous communication between producers and consumers, decoupling applications, preserving order, and persisting messages to prevent data loss.

  • CDN7:19

    Understand how a content delivery network (cdn) uses globally distributed points of presence to replicate content near users, reducing latency and avoiding a single point of failure.

Requirements

  • Basic computer science fundamentals
