Summary

This context is a blog post about starting a new series on system design case studies, with a focus on building large systems.

Abstract

The blog post welcomes readers back to a new series on system design case studies, which will focus on building large systems. The author mentions that they have completed a previous series on system design with examples and encourages readers to read the pre-requisite given in the post. The series will cover general system design case studies, ML system design case studies, and research papers based on these large systems. The author also mentions that they will be launching a YouTube channel for videos related to the projects and coding exercises.

Opinions

  • The author believes that building large systems is an important topic in system design.
  • The author encourages readers to read the pre-requisite given in the post before starting the new series.
  • The author is launching a YouTube channel for videos related to the projects and coding exercises.

Welcome back peeps. After completing System Design series with examples, we are starting System Design Case Studies Series where the entire focus is on how to build large systems ( read case study questions below).

Note : Please read System Design Important Terms you MUST know before reading this post.

All the projects, data structures, algorithms, system design, Data Science and ML , Data Engineering, MLOps and Deep Learning videos will be published on our youtube channel ( just launched).

What not to expect from this Series?

Please read the theory and examples from the pre-requisite given above as we will not be covering a lot of theory! You can dig the theoretical concepts as and when it’s required.

What are we going to cover?

We will be designing large systems and studying the research papers along with that will be brainstorming the pros and cons of each system design techniques. To make it more objective, I’ll try to make it as esoteric as possible with diagrams.
