Systems design is the use of computer engineering principles to build large scale distributed systems. It involves converting business problems and requirements into technical solutions. Senior engineers use system design patterns to make reliable, scalable and maintainable systems.

We mention 10 tips/terms used by engineers when designing systems:

00:00 Intro
00:38 Vertical scaling
01:07 Preprocessing using cron jobs
01:31 Backup servers
02:12 Horizontal scaling
02:37 Microservices
04:00 Distributed Systems
05:24 Load Balancing
06:39 Decoupling
07:15 Logging and metrics calculation
07:45 Extensibility
08:38 Lowlevel system design
