It took me back to my junior developer days when I did not know much about software architecture, best practices, or fixing performance issues.

System design interviews are becoming increasingly popular, and important, as the digital systems we work with become more complex. The term ‘system’ here refers to any set of interdependent modules that work together for a common purpose. Uber, Instagram, and Twitter (now X) are all examples of ‘systems’. The role of a system design engineer includes creating the architecture for different components of a given system, and defining how they interact with each other for a common goal.
