Systems Design Interview Concepts (for software engineers / full-stack web)
Please like the video. Ex-Google TechLead talks through core concepts for a systems design interview. Visit brilliant.org/TechLead/ to learn math, science, and computer science with new interactive courses, and get 20% off premium.
I cover the systems design interview in more detail in my program Tech Interview Pro ( techinterviewpro.com/ ) if you are interested in learning more. We also do bi-weekly Live Q&As so have a look.
In this video, we discuss load balancing, CDNs, database replication, sharding, caching layers, database schema and indexes, distributed filesystems, and other ways to scale an application. You don't want to scale your design too early or needlessly, but consider where the bottlenecks are. Sometimes you will need database sharding for instance, while other times you may not need a database at all (ie., if the data does not need to persist to disk). Note: the concepts will differ somewhat for a frontend or mobile systems design, which are more focused on the client-side architecture and software design patterns.

This is like one of the old Tech Lead videos that got me to subscribe in the first place! I love these type of technical topics, keep them coming! :D
Still one of the best and most concise explanation of key system design concepts on KZread!
This is the first great video that I've loved from Techlead in a while! (Fan since season 1). While life lessons are great, most of your audience may not be in their late 30s/40s, thus not nearly as engaging. These design videos are great, because you explain key terms (CDN/Sharding) in layman's term. The structure is also great Webserver load balancing, into CDN, then into sharding databases. The tables/diagrams worked great too. As a suggestion, I think small code snippets would improve the video even further. I find watching you code entire projects to be hard to follow. We can work out the details ourselves, but code snippets/concepts are great for the youtube format. GJ!
I can't believe this video exists. This man will singlehandedly helped me and others land a job even 5-10 years from now. I have no experience about scalability because my projects have never needed that much, but now I can atleast understand some terminology that would help a lot in system design interviews.
The database replication with slave and master and sharding! splitting the tables vertically and horizontally blew my mind like wow ! ps: I am just 2 years into dev so I found all of these concepts very intriguing and exciting!
I don't even know the least bit about computer science or IT. I just love to listen to the Tech Lead.
Old Tech lead before his villain arc is actually pretty helpful
System Design questions are challenging to prep for. It is a great way to show off your problem-solving ability and personality when compared to whiteboard questions.
In Boot Camp and a relative suggested I review this video. Very much appreciated.
props for covering this all in 11 minutes
This is definitely one of the more useful vids for techies on this channel. This guy isn't just boasting about being a tech lead. He really is the TechLead.
Nice video! I'm interviewing right now as a sophomore in college and recently failed a systems design interview challenge pretty badly - this definitely covers most of what I should have known.

You have everything in such an easy and understandable way. Thank you for such great content 😊😊
These technical videos are great! Looking forward to more of these. You should also do podcasts or on Audible so that it's easier to listen when traveling..
Techlead, this is the time that you are showing us how much power you have. Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think even my university professors cannot even compete with you.
Really appreciate the technical content!
LOVE this video! I'll share it with my community with their TPM and Engineering questions!
TechLead has the best content...He is the Master.. Respect the Master 🙏
Great video! Liked the clarity, simplicity and structure of the video. The concepts explained are very useful.
Very high quality content in few min, which takes years to learn
I learnt some of these concepts when learning about AWS and seems like AWS have made many things easy like auto scaling, load balancing, caching, data replica etc. I wonder how people do things before AWS.

What a great short explanation. You are one of the best developer and human. Thanks.
You explain things so well. Thanks for this.
To paraphrase: There are mainly 3 servers... the techniques to scale them are: Webservers (load balancing), Database servers (Caching, Indexing and Replications), Content Servers (Content Delivery Networks) for web... Load Balancing - To improve Throughput, Latency and Scalability - NGINX for enterprise, dns load balancing for basic cfg for caching db - Memcache, Redis, Cassandra. for caching img/vid/web files - CDN (Distributed File System e.g. Amazon S3) for db... Replication - Replicate data on multiple Slave DBs for "Read" only and Master for Read+Write Problem: Simultaneous DB Writes; Solution: Sharding (Horizontal sharding - Data from 1 table is split and each portion is maintained in different/multiple machines) NoSQL - Not Relational - Essentially key-value pairs - E.g. MongoDB, Amazon's Dynamo DB and FireBase' FireStore
Although I like your "as a millionaire" videos, technical videos are much better. Thanks for this video.
Great video, studying load balancer & CDN recently
I can not pass a single day without watching the videos of TechLead.
Thank you for this video! It was super concise, easy to understand, and overall a very good intro to a lot of these concepts.
This type of content is the best

This is gold. Can you do another technical video about the tools/services in order to implement the scaling techniques you discussed on the vid? Also, I would be happy to purchase from an affiliate link pointing to books/resources about the topic discussed. Thanks!
really appreciate your work! very helpful video! The mobile system design is what I expect mostly. Hit already 1.2k and waiting for your new episode!
It was helpful to hear the concepts explained differently with a different perspective. This helped clarify some of my confusion. Thanks again! Too bad we never ran into each other when we were at UCSD. :)

finally tech lead you choose right topic thanks for making video keep it up
Great video! Have you ever had to do horizontal or vertical sharding for your personal projects? At what scale more or less does this become a problem?
@TechLead
4 жыл бұрын
It totally varies on load and how heavy you're hitting the database. I typically wouldn't worry about it until I'm getting like 300K daily active users before sharding though... I've done both vertical and horizontal sharding but it often is easier to just pay for more RAM and keep things simple.
I would be more interested in Systems Design Interview Concepts as a millionaire. But you cant argue with TechLead.
I actually stopped myself from watching this before I got my coffee
Patrick certainly seems to be uploading quality content lately. I guess he is trying to make up for the algopro scandal. Great job!
