A curated 'periodic table' taxonomy of recurring computer system design principles, distilled from domains like databases, operating systems, distributed systems, and computer architecture. It provides a shared vocabulary for students, researchers, and practitioners to reason about and communicate system design trade-offs.

Use cases

• learn cross-cutting system design principles
• find a shared vocabulary for annotating systems papers
• compare design trade-offs across databases, OS, and distributed systems
• prepare lectures or course material on computer systems
• map a new system design to established principles
• study consistency, concurrency, and adaptability concepts in one place

When to choose

• you want a concise conceptual map of system design principles across domains
• you are teaching or studying computer systems and want cross-domain connections
• you need a reference taxonomy to annotate design documents or papers

When to avoid

• you need runnable software, tools, or code libraries
• you want deep, domain-specific implementation guidance rather than high-level principles
• you need a rigorous, finalized taxonomy rather than a preliminary working vocabulary
