## What it is
A curated study guide for preparing system design interviews at IT companies, organized as a collection of tips, articles, company engineering blogs, books, and reference questions. It provides a systematic approach to tackling system design questions in a short time rather than being a comprehensive textbook.

## Use cases
- prepare for a system design interview
- learn system design basics quickly
- find company engineering blogs to study
- get a systematic approach to answering design questions
- review common system design interview questions
- study scalability and distributed systems fundamentals

## When to choose
- you need a fast, structured crash course before a system design interview
- you want a curated index of articles, blogs, and books rather than long-form content
- you are a software engineer brushing up on scalability and architecture concepts

## When to avoid
- you want an interactive course with exercises or graded feedback
- you need deep, up-to-date coverage of modern architectures - the repo is a link collection last updated in 2023
- you are looking for runnable code or tooling rather than reading material
