I personally prefer the animations and basic concepts. All too often as developers we're forced to jump into more advanced concepts before we even understand the basics. I highly encourage keeping it as basic and simple as possible. This first video has been a very welcome breath of fresh air!
Based on my personal experience, keeping it simple on an interview will not be satisfiable enough, it does require the level of explanation my dude is doing here. bottomline: I do agree with your point that keeping it ELI 5 it creates way more effective learning process, but not effective for an interview processes.
You are my favorite channel oN YT. I love this. Thank you for sharing this stuff. I’ve been a Systems Admin/Engineer for decades. Now I’m a Software Engineer and your channel is such a gift to people like me.
You all have come a long way, but even this first video is top tier. This also happens to be a very common interview question, so pretty much the best place to start.
I can't believe anyone has the chutzpah to start a TH-cam channel this year when there already many well-established good ones out there. I'm glad you did. This video is good. The videos that followed are great. The keys of quality you discovered are short, animated, good voice, and relevant topic.
When the content is great -> You don't have to ask for it. Viewers will automatically Subscribe and Like. I liked the video before even watching it because I have read you book and followed LinkedIn posts.
Been following on LinkedIn for a while, so happy to see this!! And I thought your materials were clear on LinkedIn. It's even clearer on video. Thanks!
Subscribed! Just wanna let you know that thanks to the first volume of your book, I got 2 new grad offers (yep some companies ask new grads system design questions these days). Look forward to reading the second book and watching videos on this channel!
Amazing!!!! It is great to see the visual representation of the book and the posts from linkedIn. Thanks for helping to understand the concepts easily.
I like the video. I was honestly hoping for a video going into excruciating detail about the topic so I can show it to people instead of explaining the processes myself many times. This was a decent overview anyhow.
Great video I got asked in an interview for PM precisely what you explained here and can see that learning from your videos is a great way to improve my technical understanding.
I hope you won't lock your content after sometime as mostly people do . You can monetize it for ads as it will still allow financially unable people to learn it for free . Awesome content there man!! Keep up the good work.
True, but early on it was universal. " An early (1993) draft of the HTML Specification[11] referred to "Universal" Resource Locators. This was dropped some time between June 1994 (RFC 1630) and October 1994 (draft-ietf-uri-url-08.txt).[12] In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee emphasizes his preference for the original inclusion of "universal" in the expansion rather than the word "uniform", to which it was later changed, and he gives a brief account of the contention that led to the change." -- wikipedia
Awesome illustrations. I'm sort of a beginner to software development, and I completely understood this video. Although, it won't hurt to go a little more in depth, because I literally understood everything xD.
Great! I've read the first version of your System Design book, and I think this videos are a complement for that content. I like as you maintain these explanations clear and simple. I will keep continue enjoying these great videos.
I am doing your online material course and in parallel watching these videos, they are too good and animated is just on point. Looking forward to a video series on System Design. Would love to see videos on Networking and OS concepts.
I have your two books and I was looking for the video version of it. I am so happy to find this channel! Videos are great because it's even more efficient for me to memorize stuff than books. My one request is that you could speak a bit upbeat with rhythm. Maybe this is my personal preference. Even without that I still really love this series and I really appreciate you started this!!!
Saw your post on LinkedIn and received the email and I subscribed BLAZING FAST. Love you way of teaching and how you break things down and make it easy to digest. My Feedback is that I loved the video and for visual learners its very appreciated the effort that goes into the animations and transitions to bring the idea to life instead of just a block of text or a static image for 10 minutes. So really enjoyed the effort into the visual content.
I'm glad you have created this channel. Let me give you some feedback. This content is 101. Some of us need more advanced contents. Also animations seems costly. I prefer more detailed content over fancy animations in case if I'm right about the cost of animations. Sometimes creators put both advanced information and basic information in same video. And it is boring for advanced people to watch basic stuff. Just wanted to remind that for future videos. I believe dividing content by target audience is golden and the way to higher retention rates.
Nice clear talking, possibly valuable in the consulting side of IT (enterprises, govt) to remind layman that there is a reason why they should and cannot call the shots (though they can from a user experience perspective).
As someone familiar with these concepts, i found this pretty useful for a quick recap, however it will be difficult for someone without prior knowledge to follow what's exactly happening in 5 minute shorts like this. Anyways looking forward for your future videos!
Great video! I just subscribed to the channel. Your book helped me to prepare for Amazon system design interview, and the knowledge I got was really helpful. :)
The content was good and clear to understand. What I would like is to have a detailed video on the connection setup mechanism like what is TCP (and other options) and how does it work and how requests are made over TCP (or some other type). Also, the pace could be a little faster, although this video was short but in case you make longer videos, then a bit faster pace would be good. Having said that, I love your work so all the best for the channel.
Yes, the pace was a bit slow. I watched it 1.5x. I think it is fine if keeps it the same way if anyone wants to go slow. If someone wants to go fast, they can always increase the speed.
That's very insightful from you to share your knowledge with the community in another media. Certainly, keeping that quality of animations and contextual description, TH-cam you help you read way more people and potentially make you find your goals! Congratulations on the final product! 👏 Keep it simple enough for newcomers and technically enough for experts. BTW: how did you make those animations? Did you any tools? I really like it. 😁
Big fan of your work, your book, your posts on Linkedin and Twitter. Really liked it and look for more. Also I would like if you can do one video where you show us how you do your beautiful diagrams. Brilliant, looking forward to more.
I understand this is a simplification, but For DNS, I normally also mention the hostnames - ip mappings in /etc/host (Linux or Mac) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Before mentioning the resolver
Thanks Alex for sharing the content on TH-cam . Indeed an amazing initiative. Video animations are great and informative and voice is pretty loud and clear. Thank again for all your effort. Looking forward to see more videos.

I agree with this , Sir
Based on my personal experience, keeping it simple on an interview will not be satisfiable enough, it does require the level of explanation my dude is doing here.
bottomline: I do agree with your point that keeping it ELI 5 it creates way more effective learning process, but not effective for an interview processes.
The worst thing is when teachers draw their lessons with a tablet🤣Like hurry upp just learn to edit
Summary:
1 - Parse url address
2 - DNS resolution
3 - TCP Link
4 - Send http request
5 - The server received the request
6 - Server response
7 - TCP downlink
8 - Browser Parsing Resources
awesome
You skipped the IP provider
Hi thầy ^^
You are my favorite channel oN YT.
I love this.
Thank you for sharing this stuff.
I’ve been a Systems Admin/Engineer for decades. Now I’m a Software Engineer and your channel is such a gift to people like me.
You all have come a long way, but even this first video is top tier. This also happens to be a very common interview question, so pretty much the best place to start.
As a web dev, I love how you started your system design series with a web lesson.
I try to keep my videos simple. This channel is a great inspiration to do that
I can't believe anyone has the chutzpah to start a TH-cam channel this year when there already many well-established good ones out there. I'm glad you did. This video is good. The videos that followed are great. The keys of quality you discovered are short, animated, good voice, and relevant topic.
Crazy how he has grown to 784k subs…in 2 years.
I've watched a lot of videos about this process and by god this was the best and easiest to follow explanation by far
When the content is great -> You don't have to ask for it. Viewers will automatically Subscribe and Like.
I liked the video before even watching it because I have read you book and followed LinkedIn posts.
This is the best channel I could find on TH-cam for the topics regarding CS/webservice ever!
Make sure you keep the length of the videos short, like this one. This is very powerful. Your explanation is vivid and clear.
These are the best system design videos I have come across
Where greatness began! Nice explanations
wow it's honour to have you on youtube. welcome and hope everyone gain something from your videos
How simple and all relevant details were delivered in one video
Please upload more videos 😄
Thanks Alex this is really crisp and clear explanation about a topic in brief, Will be waiting for more
Been following on LinkedIn for a while, so happy to see this!!
And I thought your materials were clear on LinkedIn.
It's even clearer on video. Thanks!
Your diagram + explanation are so great and easy to understand and retain
Thank you
Amaaazing format to deliver such an intelligible explanation
Subscribed! Just wanna let you know that thanks to the first volume of your book, I got 2 new grad offers (yep some companies ask new grads system design questions these days). Look forward to reading the second book and watching videos on this channel!
Where did you order book?
@@izbagov both are on amazon!
Which companies asked system design for new grad?
Happy to see that you finally started a TH-cam channel. I see this reaching a Million subs super quick. Congrats 👏 👏 👏
Amazing!!!! It is great to see the visual representation of the book and the posts from linkedIn. Thanks for helping to understand the concepts easily.
Thank you for the amazing books, LinkedIn Posts and now youtube videos .. Really appreciate your contribution for the community .
Just 6 months and already 249k subs that too on an educational channel. Amazing work guys!
Amazing initiative. I'm a big fan of your books!
Thank you for keep bringing this great content to us!
I like the video.
I was honestly hoping for a video going into excruciating detail about the topic so I can show it to people instead of explaining the processes myself many times. This was a decent overview anyhow.
Great video
I got asked in an interview for PM precisely what you explained here and can see that learning from your videos is a great way to improve my technical understanding.
My favorite interview question and 9 out of 10 cannot explain this
Great Initiative. Good content for first video and explained clearly. Keep Going
I hope you won't lock your content after sometime as mostly people do . You can monetize it for ads as it will still allow financially unable people to learn it for free . Awesome content there man!! Keep up the good work.
simplistic and great love the format please keep making videos
I’ve looked at a couple of videos explaining HTTP and this is hands down the best one so far! Thank you 🙏🏻
Nice. This channel is going to be hit from day 1.
Actually I was asked the exact question in a technical Interview, thank you I can answer it better next time
Good explanation, a minor correction. URL stands for “Uniform Resource Locator”
True, but early on it was universal.
" An early (1993) draft of the HTML Specification[11] referred to "Universal" Resource Locators. This was dropped some time between June 1994 (RFC 1630) and October 1994 (draft-ietf-uri-url-08.txt).[12] In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee emphasizes his preference for the original inclusion of "universal" in the expansion rather than the word "uniform", to which it was later changed, and he gives a brief account of the contention that led to the change." -- wikipedia
Please make more of these this is super useful!
Awesome illustrations. I'm sort of a beginner to software development, and I completely understood this video. Although, it won't hurt to go a little more in depth, because I literally understood everything xD.
Crisp and precise…i liked it
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Looking forward to more videos
Great! I've read the first version of your System Design book, and I think this videos are a complement for that content. I like as you maintain these explanations clear and simple. I will keep continue enjoying these great videos.
Excellent explanation. Very clear and to the point. Thank You for this video. 👍
I am doing your online material course and in parallel watching these videos, they are too good and animated is just on point. Looking forward to a video series on System Design.
Would love to see videos on Networking and OS concepts.
which course are you doing/did you do?
Congratulations on the launch! The video looks amazing! Big fan here.
I just want to say that these videos are super super helpful! As someone without a comp sci background, I love this content!
Amazing!! Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to watching all of these videos.
Honestly this is better than any university class that I’ve ever taken
I have your two books and I was looking for the video version of it. I am so happy to find this channel! Videos are great because it's even more efficient for me to memorize stuff than books.

I got a picture embedded in my head which I wont forget everrr. Thanks a bunch!
Awesome explanation, you are doing a great job!
Awesome initiative! Keep it up 💪
Ur content on Linked In is great, looking forward to viewing this channel! 👍🏻
Excited to see more content, keep them coming!
we finally have a spiritual successor to Mikhail's system design series.
I'm glad you have created this channel. Let me give you some feedback.

Basics is golden…May be a paid version for advanced audience will also be a good approach…
Great video and explanation ! Also your animations are unmatched !
Nice clear talking, possibly valuable in the consulting side of IT (enterprises, govt) to remind layman that there is a reason why they should and cannot call the shots (though they can from a user experience perspective).
Simple, relevant, and kind. Thank you for the video!
Great contribution to the community. Excellent tutorial
Very well explained, love from India
You are my personal favorite, it is so so clear. I live it. I love it.
Your animation is just right. Wonderful work. Thanks a lot
An amazing content with an amazing presentation way (animation and sound) so please keep going.
As someone familiar with these concepts, i found this pretty useful for a quick recap, however it will be difficult for someone without prior knowledge to follow what's exactly happening in 5 minute shorts like this. Anyways looking forward for your future videos!
❤️Ohhh man, your content is so reach and clean, it's very easy to understand.
Very helpful.Waiting for more such great videos.
Thanks Xu. I can't do more than following and learning from you from all places.
Great video! I just subscribed to the channel. Your book helped me to prepare for Amazon system design interview, and the knowledge I got was really helpful. :)
Great initiative!! Will be expecting video of system design course very soon!!!
Many thanks for those short videos, please keep going !

Happy to be here…. Ready for the Journey
Liked the content. Please continue with system design related content.

Thanks and looking forward to more videos 💙
Big fan of you. Request you to create a series on authentication authorization in detail
I understand this is a simplification, but
For DNS, I normally also mention the hostnames - ip mappings in /etc/host (Linux or Mac) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Before mentioning the resolver
Thanks Alex for sharing the content on TH-cam . Indeed an amazing initiative. Video animations are great and informative and voice is pretty loud and clear. Thank again for all your effort. Looking forward to see more videos.
First comment! I was waiting for this channel, thanks alot =) +1 for your book!
Great concept explained so well. Please keep on doing these videos.
Glad to see your channel. Happy learning!
