## What it is
A collection of system design problem statements accompanying Arpit Bhayani's System Design Masterclass, covering designs like load balancers, distributed caches, search engines, and task schedulers. It serves as practice material for senior engineers preparing for system design interviews or deepening production-scale architecture skills.

## Use cases
- prepare for system design interviews
- practice designing scalable distributed systems
- learn how production systems like S3 or Slack are architected
- find system design problem statements for study groups
- improve backend architecture skills as a senior engineer

## When to choose
- you are an SDE-2+ engineer preparing for system design interviews
- you want realistic, production-grade design problems to practice
- you want to pair problem statements with a structured masterclass

## When to avoid
- you need runnable production software rather than exercises
- you are a beginner looking for introductory distributed systems tutorials
- you need a licensed, reusable codebase - the repo has no license

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: microservices, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: system-design, interview-prep, distributed-systems, coursework, scalability, backend-engineering
