Description

System Design Masterclass, Design Scalable & Distributed SystemsLearn 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 GatewaysLoad 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 indexingWebSockets, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and asynchronous communicationCAP Theorem, ACID transactions, service discovery, Bloom filters, and moreHow to prepare for system design interviews with real-world examplesKey System Design Topics Included:RESTful APIs, Idempotency, ChecksumsLoad Balancing & Rate LimitingCaching (LRU, LFU), CDNs, Distributed CachingSQL vs NoSQL, Database Scaling, ShardingWebSockets vs Long PollingMessage Queues, Stream vs Batch ProcessingFault Tolerance, High Availability, ProxiesBloom Filters, Service Discovery, ConcurrencyWhy Take This Course?Whether you're a developer, software architect, or job-seeker preparing for interviews, this course gives you:essential system design concepts explained clearly and visuallySystem Design interview prep tips and frameworks used by FAANG engineersPractical knowledge that you can apply to projects, products, or interviewsNo Experience NeededWe start from the fundamentals and build up. By the end, you'll be confident in designing scalable systems that power real-world applications like YouTube, Uber, Netflix, or Amazon.Who Should Take This Course?Software Engineers preparing for FAANG-level interviewsBackend & Full Stack Developers working on scalable applicationsComputer Science students looking to master system architectureAnyone curious about how systems like YouTube, Uber, or Netflix are builtEnroll now and start designing like a systems architect!
