Overview

Mastering System Design for FAANG Interviews The Complete Engineering Blueprint for Scalable Architectures, Distributed Systems, and Real-World Design Mastery Build, Scale, and Think Like a Senior Engineer. This is not just another interview prep guide - it's a comprehensive engineering playbook for mastering modern system design. From fundamental design principles to global-scale architectures, this book transforms how you approach distributed systems, scalability, and real-world technical interviews at FAANG and beyond. What This Book DeliversMaster Core System Design Concepts Understand what top-tier interviewers truly evaluate - from latency, throughput, and fault tolerance to CAP theorem, consistency models, and data partitioning. Learn to think like an architect, not a candidate. Build Real-World Distributed Systems Go beyond theory with hands-on labs and full-stack design projects. Implement scalable architectures using modern technologies - Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Prometheus, and Grafana. Apply End-to-End Architectural Thinking Each chapter follows a structured, seven-part framework - from concept to configuration, practice labs, troubleshooting, and best practices. You'll build real systems step by step, including a global video-streaming platform that rivals YouTube-scale design. Learn Trade-Offs Like a Pro Master the art of balancing performance, reliability, and cost. Understand when to choose SQL over NoSQL, L4 vs. L7 load balancing, synchronous vs. asynchronous replication, and vertical vs. horizontal scaling. Practice FAANG-Style Interview Questions Simulate real system design interviews with mock questions, step-by-step solutions, and interviewer rubrics. Learn how to clarify requirements, communicate trade-offs, and defend your design under time pressure. Modern Tooling and Cloud Integration Integrate your designs with AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code blueprints. Apply observability, CI/CD pipelines, and cost-optimization frameworks used by real production teams. Build Confidence with Practice Labs Every chapter includes a Practical Lab - design a scalable URL shortener, a distributed chat service, an image CDN, and a real-time feed engine. Cap it all with a Full-Stack End-to-End Project - ""StreamBox"", a production-grade video-streaming platform. Who This Book Is For FAANG interview candidates preparing for system design rounds. Software engineers and architects seeking to level up in distributed systems. Backend and DevOps professionals transitioning into architecture and scalability design. Students, educators, and mentors building a deep foundation in systems engineering. Inside, You'll Discover Modern architecture patterns for microservices, queues, caching, and databases Real examples of Kafka pipelines, Redis caching, PostgreSQL replication, and CDN edge strategies End-to-end system design methodology - from clarification → design → scale → optimize → defend Complete appendices with CLI cheat sheets, IaC templates, troubleshooting playbooks, interview frameworks, and recommended tools Mastering System Design for FAANG Interviews is the definitive guide for the modern engineer - where interview preparation meets real-world engineering excellence. Design. Scale. Deliver. Master the systems that power the world's biggest platforms.
