## What it is
A curated collection of links, videos, and documents for preparing for system design interview questions and learning how large-scale distributed systems are designed. It is a reading list rather than software, covering basics, interview strategies, common design questions, and company engineering blogs.

## Use cases
- prepare for system design interview rounds
- learn how large-scale distributed systems work
- find resources on scalability and load balancing
- study common system design interview questions
- get an overview of distributed systems concepts before an interview

## When to choose
- you are preparing for system design or open-ended interview rounds
- you want a curated starting point of videos, articles, and books on scalable systems
- you are a student or engineer new to large-scale architecture

## When to avoid
- you need runnable code, tools, or a framework rather than a reading list
- you want a structured course with exercises instead of curated links
- you need up-to-date content, as some links may age over time

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, microservices
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: system-design, interview-preparation, scalability, architecture, curated-links, distributed-systems
