This course is ideal for engineers with 2+ years of experience who want to learn how to architect systems and move to Senior/Staff roles.

In this 6-week cohort, we'll learn how to approach architecting solutions to different problems.

Structure Of Session:

Our sessions will start around a problem statement, in which you'll design and evolve the Day-0 architecture to the final architecture that satisfies all the problem's constraints and requirements. The cohort will be an interactive one, where we'll discuss different approaches to the same problem and the trade-offs associated with the different approaches.

Systems Covered:

We will be covering different systems, and discussing how we would design them. Each of the systems present a different challenge and will expand your thought process while approaching these problems. Some of the systems we will cover are -

1) Ticket Booking System(TicketMaster/BookMyShow/Airbnb)

2) Photo Upload System(Instagram/LinkedIn)

3) Social Media System(LinkedIn/Twitter)

4) Messaging System(LinkedIn/Discord)

5) Notifications System(LinkedIn/Instagram/Airbnb)

6) Build System(Gitlab/Github)

7) Distributed File System(S3/GFS)

Concepts/Internals Covered:

Listing a few concepts/internals that we'll dive into, during the 6 week cohort. These concepts will be covered as part of discussing the different problem statements so that it's more interactive and engaging.

1) Relational Database

2) NoSQL

3) NewSQL

4) CDN

5) Consensus

6) Resilience

7) Web Sockets

8) Serverless

9) Event Driven Architecture

In addition to the above, we'll be covering the soft skills needed by architects to succeed. I'll share my experiences, where I've made mistakes and what are the changes I've made in my journey. I'll provide a guide on the skills/qualities that you should focus on building to grow into a Staff/Architect role.
