I like this and find it helpful, but I'm also a person who does well learning by example. I realize it would be a very different video from your normal format, but it would be pretty cool to do a full ~1hr example interview which showcases this in practice.

Thank you for this, I got asked about non functional requirements in an interview and had never heard that term. This clarified that for me!
the smooth animation and clear structure of presentation are incredibly amazing, thanks for presenting such quality video
I feel like technical interviews are broken and no matter how much you prepare you're always going to have to deal with a random interviewer who may not even be that focused or someone who is biased etc.

This is what I have experienced as well.
Really really awesome video. Would really appreciate it if you could make a video on some examples/scenarios and which technology to use in those cases. You have covered some really good cases, especially related to DBs in ur channel. In particular I was looking for when to and not to use message queues and their challenges and limitations. Thanks.
It requires multiple knowledge on many areas. Senior engineer is different from solutions architect. It is similar to medicine and in medicine you are becoming more experienced on an specific area. But today, every body urges software developers/engineers to become expert on many areas... it is insane.. we are human, not a machine...

true, but the breadth of knowledge you have is a good indicator of how many situations you’ve worked on and how experienced you are. Which is why these Interviews aren’t usually done for junior engineers
My MIS BSBA was instrumental in Systems Analysis and Design, and although it gave me a great overview… It is videos like these I go to for more in-depth and situational knowledge for System Design and Software/Database development. Thank you for publishing resources like these.
Alex sir's videos make these concepts look amazingly simple and clear 🔥
Amazing video! Thank you for your clear and calm explanations. I really appreciate the effort put into the animations as well. Well done!
Amazing video! Just the perfect timing for me. Hope to learn more and get prepared for my applications. Thanks so much.
Thanks for putting a thought framework. This will be very useful not only for active job seekers but to any engineers who is solving complex problems. It would be great, if you can make a video with a specific example.
It's crazy to me that they don't teach any of this in universities. They are so far behind real world issues.

@@Mark-rt6fy maybe new grads do not need to know all in detail but they should have an overview of system design. At least it can help them quickly search document for solution
The animations are amazing and on point. Great work!
Beautifully presented. Thank you so much!
The contents and the production of this video are both amazingly great!
Best descriptions of the plan. Thanks a lot ❤
Great! I really like this channel. Based on the quality content I ordered the book and am looking forward to reading it.
Great content as always. Thanks for all your efforts.
Love this, however I have never been part of a project where we had time to do all of this 😭
Thank you. I know nothing about system Design. But this video gave me a good understanding of it.
Great hints on an otherwise messy situation. Thanks!!
That so awesome. The content and illustration on the high level. Many thanks.
Really helpful video! Thanks for your great work.
Well you are spot on. I am already seeing dynamic architecture in play.
Besides your information about system design, I really loved your way of showing the details and the animation. Good work ❤🎉.
Great video! Thanks for the instruction.
super useful and helpful! great video!
How can you make a so professional & useful video, oh my master.
Your videos are awesome! Thank you
Awesome! One thing I see missing is “delegation” of tasks. For example on the DB performance, network etc at least during the deep dive.
You are the best when it comes to System Design. Thanks so much!
This video is just Amazing!
Thank you for explaining in a nutshell
One time I interviewed with Facebook for a Web Front End role. The interviewer asked me to design a Google Search server infrastructure, with load balancing, and how many servers are needed, etc. I think that's the summit of human intelligence

Thank you for this wonderful video
Excellent Video. Condensed, but clear, with beautiful production. Me like a good framework.
A BIG BIG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!.
Your book its awesome. Very easy to read with a lot to learn, I recommend it
Step 1: Understand the Problem Step 2: Clarify Step 3: Framework Step 4: Design Diagram Step 5: Data model schema
Hi..thank you so much for your great contribution and explanation..small request.. could you do system design video for cabs and ticket vending machines as those r asked recently in one of my interviews
it would be very intresting to see a mockup interview using this system
congrats to the video editor, he did a very good job
How valuable are these videos! They should be taught at the university.
Thank you ❤️
Excellent one
Step 1: capture features and NFR Step 2: propose APIs, high level diagram, data model Step 3: Dive into specific implementations. Articulate problems and propose solutions. Step 4: Wrap up
Great content and interesting to learn this way. May I know which modelling tool you use to create this content?
this is the nost detailed explanation video I've ever watched. Like it a lot
Amazing video
Useful ❤️
Thank you for the video. What program do you use for your amazing graphics?
Absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🥳✌️
Great very good, Many thanks Sir. Just one question in which Software have you drawn those diagrams?
I like they way you explain and present . Which software you are using for the animation .
illustration looks great, What is the tool that is used to design these illustration/ppt ?
very useful
good content and video design , guide us what tools you are using for animation
This is a nice prep but you should stimulate actual interviews with people
Pushing the algorithm ❤️
Your Presentation always is well above others. What software you used for these animations. Very Impressive and a Perfect one. If possible share which software you use for animations and Drawings.Thanks

Hi, I bought subscription to your book on your website. Does it contain both Volume 1 and Volume 2?
Could you please show in an example video plz? I read one of your sys design books. It is a great reference book but it's difficult to simulate the interview session by just reading it.. Can you show by doing a 45-minute session, how you put this methodology into practice?
Can you create a roadmap for system design?
How do you make such type of videos ?? ... specially interested in diagrams ... rotating diagrams ?? Any tool ? Pls suggest
Ok i need this today … yes today because i have an real interview 🤣🤣
What is the application used please to build the presentation ?
nice
Sir at what point in your design cycle do you handle data modeling. You example is more a tech use case. If you took a typical IT org, we have complex data models. We find many new comers these days think of API to satisfy requirements and mostly ignore the core data/object model. As a result, we do not model data properly and end up with redundant tables or data structures
I'm not sure why data modeling is after defining APIs. The APIs are about the input and output, which are further dependent on data models. If this makes sense, shouldn't we do data models before defining APIs?
What's the animation software used ?
TIL that websocket server is stateful and challenging at scale.
With unlimited horizontal scalability snd replication how do non functional requirements matter. Only thing we can design is for horizontal scalability.
Hey can any body tell me how this guy make statefull images where things are moving.. please
is this a high level design or low level design?
Why system designs mostly come with interview tags.
Argo have understand med but work fewest system Ego.
Load balance ? Web socket hard to scaling ? Did you elixir/erlang ??
Really nice. Wondering about what you use to make the drawings of the video. Anyone knows?

if interviews are stressful, fix them....software industry is the only industry where a candidate has to prepare for the interview...does a surgeon has to prepare for his/her surgery skills when he/she looks to change a job, or does a truck driver has to hone his driving skills when he goes for an interview...

The Asian dude on the video said this interview “might” be stressful, not that it’s broken. I’m in this industry, and we don’t have licensing or certification requirements to get the right people for the business objectives. This is like 45 mins or 1 hour that is all you have before ramping up someone for 6 months to a year before seeing what’s up.
System design interviews now a days feel more like a practiced choreography. Interviewer and interviewee dancing rhythmically. One missed step and its gone. Whether you worked and used the technology you are proposing in your design doesn't matter and pretending that you are an expert in it is an art in itself.
An architectural design in an hour? Lol. Takes my company about 3-6 months to
