Course Outcomes

• Understand the principles of Low-Level Design (LLD) and High-Level Design (HLD), including system architecture, data storage solutions, and component integration.
• Learn strategies for designing systems that scale effectively, focusing on load balancing, caching mechanisms, and efficient data retrieval.
• Understand the creation of fault-tolerant, secure, and reliable systems, emphasizing aspects like CDN usage, API design, and system security. Testing can be done alongside.
• Apply concurrency models and multithreading techniques to design systems that efficiently manage multiple tasks and data streams.

Approach

• Analyze system design of real-world applications and read case studies focusing on their approaches to scalability, fault tolerance, and architecture decisions.
• Use online tools like Lucidchart or Draw.io to simulate system design scenarios, creating diagrams and models that represent system architectures, data flows, and component interactions.
• Work and practice on previously asked standard design problems on platforms like Leetcode and try to improve the already available solutions.
