Designing systems isn’t just about knowing concepts - it’s about applying them under constraints, trade-offs, and real-world requirements.



This hands-on design, project-driven course takes you from foundational system concepts to designing production-grade architectures. Through live demos, real-world patterns, and collaborative design challenges, you'll be equipped to lead high-impact engineering decisions and design systems that scale.

Whether you're preparing for Staff+ level interviews or stepping into a Tech Lead or Engineering Manager role, this course gives you both the breadth and depth needed to succeed.

✅ What you’ll learn:

🔹 A clear roadmap of system design concepts - to help you master the required concepts

🔹 Mastery of core trade-offs - consistency vs availability, SQL vs NoSQL, sync vs async

🔹 Strong foundations in API design - RESTful API design, rate limiting, throttling, secure APIs, SSO

🔹 Techniques to handle non-functional requirements like scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance

🔹 Insights into DB internals ACID Vs. BASE, sharding, replication, CAP/PACELC theorem, and choosing the right data store

🔹 Feedback and collaboration through live design sessions and final design demo days for assignments

🔹 Exposure to real-world system challenges such as leader election, unique ID generation, and rate limiting at scale

🔹 Confidence to approach real-world design problems using proven strategies and design frameworks

🔹 Practical estimation and planning skills for time management in real projects and system design interviews

🔹 Feedback and collaboration through live design sessions and final design demo days for assignments

🔹 Resources and Cheatsheets for self-guided deep dives

🔹 Assessments after each session to push you through the boundaries

🔹 Capstone project at the end to ensure you feel ready to take the world on
