Grokking the System Design Interview

This is the original Grokking System Design course (formerly on Educative), now exclusively on DesignGurus.io.
System Design Interviews test how you think about scalability, reliability, and trade-offs under pressure. Grokking the System Design Interview distills the core concepts that FAANG-level engineers use every day, from load balancing and caching to data partitioning and microservices architecture.
You'll learn how to approach open-ended design questions methodically, evaluate alternatives intelligently, and communicate like a senior architect - even if you're still mid-career. With real-world case studies, interactive diagrams, video lessons, and structured frameworks, this course gives you the confidence to design any large-scale system from scratch.
The curriculum of this course is continually updated to reflect the latest industry trends and best practices, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve. Whether you're interviewing at a FAANG company or any tech-driven organization, this course gives you the inside track to building the systems of tomorrow and landing the role you deserve.
