## What it is
A curated collection of system design case studies, fundamentals, and interview preparation resources organized alphabetically by company and technology. It serves as a learning hub for software engineers preparing for system design interviews.

## Use cases
- prepare for a system design interview
- learn system design fundamentals
- study real-world distributed systems case studies
- find resources on scalability and high-level design
- review common system design interview questions

## When to choose
- you are preparing for system design interviews at tech companies
- you want a curated index of system design learning materials
- you want to study how real companies architect their systems

## When to avoid
- you need runnable code or a software tool
- you want a structured course with exercises rather than a link collection
- you need a non-English or formally licensed educational resource

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, microservices
- platform: -
- tags: system-design, interview-preparation, distributed-systems, scalability, case-studies, awesome-list, web-server
