Course Overview

System Design Masterclass

Learn to design scalable, distributed, and high-performance systems with real-world examples and interview prep.

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


Why 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 visually

  • System Design interview prep tips and frameworks used by FAANG engineers

  • Practical knowledge that you can apply to projects, products, or interviews


No Experience Needed

We 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.
