Start with the workload
Frame requirements, estimate capacity and define the interfaces before choosing components.
ARCHITECTURE & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
System Design.
Design for scale.
Think in systems.
Turn requirements into a clear architecture. Learn to make deliberate decisions about APIs, storage, scale and reliability, and explain the trade-offs behind them.

ARCHITECTURE & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Scope the requirement.
Defend the architecture.
Learn to turn requirements into scalable systems and discuss the tradeoffs behind data, services and reliability.
Reason about scale and data
Compare storage, caching, partitioning and messaging choices.
Design for real failures
Discuss consistency, retries, idempotency and observability in a structured design review.
Your skills matter in the AI era.
AI can propose an architecture, but your requirements, workload and reliability goals determine whether it fits. Build the judgement to question design suggestions and explain the trade-offs you choose.
A ROADMAP THAT BUILDS ON ITSELF
From a product requirement
to a defensible system design.
Scope the workload, choose the data architecture, plan for scale and practise explaining reliability decisions.
