I Created the Most Comprehensive System Design Interview Resource

I’m excited to launch my premium pattern-focused System Design interview resource.

This is the most comprehensive course I’ve built, covering 55 interview problems, 20 technology deep dives, and 20 reusable patterns that appear across multiple problems.

Many chapters are free to explore. To unlock full access, you need to become a paid subscriber to the newsletter.

This is in addition to my System Design Fundamentals and Low-Level Design Courses. I also updated my popular system design github repository with more free resources.
