Description

System Design Masterclass, Design Scalable & Distributed Systems


Learn how to design scalable, reliable, and high-performance systems used by top tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Netflix.


Are you preparing for a system design interview or building the backend for a real-world application? This System Design Masterclass covers all the key concepts you need from APIs and load balancers to databases, caching, messaging queues, and distributed systems.


This course is designed for software engineers, backend developers, and architects who want to gain hands-on knowledge and confidently design large-scale systems.


What You'll Learn:

  • How to design REST APIs and work with API Gateways

  • Load balancing algorithms and how to avoid single points of failure (SPOF)

  • Caching strategies, eviction policies, and distributed caching systems (like Redis)

  • SQL vs NoSQL databases, database sharding, scaling, and indexing

  • WebSockets, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and asynchronous communication

  • CAP Theorem, ACID transactions, service discovery, Bloom filters, and more

  • How to prepare for system design interviews with real-world examples


Key System Design Topics Included:


  • RESTful APIs, Idempotency, Checksums

  • Load Balancing & Rate Limiting

  • Caching (LRU, LFU), CDNs, Distributed Caching

  • SQL vs NoSQL, Database Scaling, Sharding

  • WebSockets vs Long Polling

  • Message Queues, Stream vs Batch Processing

  • Fault Tolerance, High Availability, Proxies

  • Bloom Filters, Service Discovery, Concurrency
