System Design for Beginners Course
This course is a detailed introduction to system design for software developers and engineers.
Building large-scale distributed systems like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter requires an in-depth understanding of computer science principles. This allows systems to handle millions of users concurrently despite hardware failures.
We discuss the fundamental concepts of system design in this course like requirement selection, API design, Database Design, Network protocols, Fault-tolerance, design trade-offs, solution tradeoffs, and low-level design.
Gaurav Sen created this course. Check out his channel: @gkcs
You can learn about distributed systems and system design using the following resources:

Thanks Gaurav, Glad to have you here. I worked on many case studies of your classes and has tremendously helped in getting my system design skill to an advance user over the last few months.
Big thanks to everyone at FCC for their efforts in making these videos
FreeCodeCamp is amazing! Only yesterday, I was learning Assembly Programming with ARM for beginners on this channel, and today there's a system design course already waiting for me! Thank you Gaurav for creating such a thorough resource for free and FreeCodeCamp for bringing it to millions of learners like me :)
Now I will start my system design journey with this course.
Gaurav hats off to your wonderful course!
I am not even a software engineer but the way he started explaining things make so much sense to me and made me stick to the video till the very end. Gaurav knows who make it engaging. Kudos to FCC and Gaurav!!

That is what system design is all about. It's meant to be understood by the layman. Surprisingly the most important part of programming is not in writing the code rather it's solving a problem using logical sequence that captures everything problem solution(system design). If you are not good at this then programming may not be for you!

I really liked this course. it includes not just the patterns, but also connects it to the process of distilling Business Needs as an engineer. Thank you for sharing this course! Excellent point about testing the design, especially for large complex systems.
For me, it is not about SQL or noSQL It is more about: - Is it cheap? is it scaleable? at this stage of the project can I utilize my available resource? - Do we need schemaless/no schemaless, usually because of shameless, the database needs to take more space for storing and is slower at execution. Like dynamic-typed langue vs typed language. - Can I make relationship ? (typically the NoSQL is considered weak relationship, BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE RELATIONSHIP. PLUS, BECAUSE OF SCHEMALESS YOU CAN EMBED DOCUMENT FOR MAKING THE RELATIONSHIP AND MAKING THE QUERY FASTER WITHOUT JOINING ACROSS TABLES ) - How about its built-in function? it is usually better if you make the computation on the database instead of pulling it down to the server and computing and of course, you don't have to re-develop that function - The last one, of course, which type of database is more familiar to my team

In terms of databases you really only have a few types, NoSQL, SQL, and in-memory. The brand of the db is almost irrelevant any decent engineer should know how to work with any of them.
"You want your features to be extensible. For this, you have to take out your engineering crystal ball, and gaze deeply into it..." 😂🤣
I know all this but I was doubting my self that, Is my way of system design is right. Now I am more confident thanks 🙂
Nice short introduction to system design! Nice job Gaurav!
Great Tutorial, videos like these really make a difference. Thank you for the efforts Gaurav and the team at FCC.
The knowledge and versatility of Gaurav is just amazing, I m stunn

Teaching something simple thing in complex way dose not really mean learning system design, rather knowing philosophy behind a system or process is more important.

Love u , searching this topics from long time.
Great video. 1:18:43 - if going with variable frame length, then, if a frame is extended with absolute start position attribute, it becomes possible to do binary search within frames array for timestamp, instead of linear iterations ( O(log n) vs O(n) ). With fixed frame length even better, instead of iterations just divide timestamp by frame length, and we have a frame index in O(1).
Oscar award for Best system designer.
I've been waiting for that! thx FCC!
Kudos to this man!😊😊😊 I learn a lot in your system design course. It's a good video to watch in 2024
I am still going through the video, but just wanted to say thanks so much for making content like this. It's so well thought out and articulated. I am a mid-level engineer and I have a rough, abstract understanding of most of these concepts but I need the nitty gritty to be reinforced so that I can talk about it confidently. You covered exactly that in your example. Thanks Gaurav and thanks freecodecamp for another video that hits the nail on the head
Nothing much to say, Just happy to see Gaurav Sen :3
i have exam about information systems and this contains the subject thankss!!!
Liked it. Very informative in an easy-to-understand way!
This is wonderful. Much love from Nigeria
I am thinking of making a basic video sharing and streaming platform for personal projection and this really helped me a lot thankyou
Really really awesome video. Thank you for this tutorial! This is exactly what I have been looking for.👍👍👍
Great work ✅
Thanks you sir!!!
Thankyou so Much , This is a very informative video , this videos takes us on a journey where we think deeply which we never thought before , How in detail a engineer thinks about every aspect from making a call for next 10 seconds video frame , and all the various parts to make sure for a user the complete experience is so smooth and he never bother about it ... Thankyou so Much it is a great video to start learning about system design , It is interesting and Informative 🔥🔥
This course is decent! I learned this course in my degree, and it cost 3500 USD. Huges thanks to Gaurav Sen and freeCodeCamp.
Awesome content. I really enjoyed this
Awesome video! Really enjoyed through the video
Prerequisites for understanding the concepts is some sort of APIs Knowledgs, Networking Protocol, Database System. Just need basic concepsts.
Thanks a helpful and intersting video of all these systems topics... Very good...

Yeah I totally could have used this video last year when I was deep into my capstone project, except I was trying to figure out all this stuff with my team trying to come up with a very similar program, our conversations were very similar to everything in this video… we weren’t able actually make a viable product tho, this would have been a great help… we were missing some of the late video processing parts that were very complex to get implemented and working
Thank you so much ❤😂🎉👏🙏🏻🤔🤝👌👍

It would be great having subtitles for such important topic
Great Video! One question. In the getFrame() method, can we just divide the given timestamp by Frame.FrameTime, to get the index to the array of frames ? Instead of looping to find the frame ?
THE OG OF SYSTEM DESIGN
nice job!
For "Go back to video and watch from timestamp", couldn't it be `play(user, videoID, 0)` where if it is 0, you check your cache to see if the user saw it previously? I also think that watched video shouldn't be a separate object because it doesn't make sense to create a new object every time a user watches a video. Instead, I think there should be a database table for watched videos with userID, seekTime, and videoID that can be queried in the VideoConsumingService.
thank you for this. System design is on interviews and there are very few resources.

The explanation in the video is prolly not exactly related to "live streaming" service but more inclined towards a offline video streaming model like yt
