A curated awesome-list of system design (distributed systems) resources including articles, books, videos, and tools covering databases, message brokers, stream processing, and microservices. It is aimed at interview preparation and learning to design distributed applications.

Use cases

  • prepare for a system design interview
  • learn distributed systems concepts
  • find resources on microservices architecture
  • study message brokers and stream processing
  • get an overview of the hadoop ecosystem and nosql databases
  • design a scalable distributed application

When to choose

  • you want a single curated index of system design learning materials
  • you are preparing for backend or system design interviews
  • you need links to articles, books, and videos on distributed computing

When to avoid

  • you need runnable software rather than a reading list
  • you want a structured course with exercises instead of links
  • you need up-to-date deep coverage of a single specific technology
