I have watched multiple videos on system design but the content you have is exactly what is needed to crack the interviews. You are among the best on youtube in terms of content !
I want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory ? how inventory service and elastic search talk to each other
I have my first interview tomorrow and i was so scared, thanks to your videos i no longer feel like that and i feel like im actually capable of showing of what i learned so far in my career tomorrow. THANK YOU
It's not like I am trying to make some comparisons here but I usually prefer watching multiple videos for the same design topic and I can easily say that I find Sandeep's tutorials the most comprehensive and lucid at the same time. Awesome job there Sandeep.
The improvement what I see in your videos is you keep everything drawn already on the board rather drawing it on the go. That would have been good as to know how you think through the whole system and how you approaching step by step. Also one more thing is the diagram could be more organized so when you talk you run through any flow it should be one functional flow from start to end rather than picking random components.
That would make some of his 1-hour videos 3-hours length though... When everything is prepared he is able to cover more aspects and go more in-depth in shorter time. Anyway, I am not sure if we will see new videos from him.
This is the very comprehensive and clear explanations of the concepts, I have seen so many videos in platforms like udemy, linkedin learning, Oreilly but I found this explanation and design best for the ecommerce platform.
Great video as always. I found myself liking the videos in which you draw the system in real time. It gives a much better idea of a system being built to solve multiple levels of problems step by step. It also keeps the viewer more focused on the piece being worked on.
This has been a clear vision for the process with multiple DB depending on the what type of data we are getting saved. It helped me a lot. I have designed one solution. If you have linkedin or similar can we connect. Just for a clarification, like MongoDB, Cassandra and Analytics tool can't we use any ERP based backend like SAP, ARIBA for purchase flow to make it more easy and smoother. These already have best Load balancing. I am a SAP consultant and looking for the similar solution that i have seen for multiple industry in my project experience.
Vivid explanation. I would add that where you run the purge and archive what I have seen a heavy use of asynch flows so some kind of queue in between which would delete the data through processing service but dont talk directly with historical service, instead generate all these order events and put them into a queue and the listener on the other end would talk to historical service and finish the rest of the process. Since purge may pull millions of records so expecting archival service to deal with order processing and historical at the same time may cause frequent failures. Very nice content. Thank you.
One more point - when redis sends the expiry callback to order taking service we can also put a check there to first check the status of the order. if order is placed then ignore the request. Deleting from Redis when payment is confirmed is also good but safeguarding at both ends would be nice in case we fail to delete the record from redis.

@@aashishsawant3150 mongo-db is used when you have unstructured data which can have varying attributes yet you need to query them with complex params. For example, you may want to find a shirt of size M and color crayon and has a chinese collar etc. how inventory service and elastic search talk to each other: They don't have to.
I think Wish List and Cart service should not be associated with Search service rather it can be directly connected to user pages once he/she is logged in.
All your videos are excellent . Only issue is you are standing infront of the board which contains the architecture. You can stand on the side of the board so that viewers get a clean view of the architecture diagram.

Thanks buddy for such a nice explaination. Since this is Amazon and hence global presence, I had few questions which may be asked in an interview 1. How is the user service Db synched , e.g. user is in India however now he went to US and access US website. Will there be a master Db which will have info about all Users or how will the system sense where to fetch user info from ? 2. If we say the DBs of all regions will sync with some Master DB, how will this sync happen ? 3. Will there be a Load Balancer infront of REDIS (wherever its used ) ? 4. Infact there can be a LB infront of every service component, if not then how are the requests routed as there could be multiple servers running that service ( e.g. Cart Service) ? Could you ( or any other user) please help to provide some guidance on this ? Thanks in advance.

Very clear and well explained all the features.. thanks for sharing, I appreciate your efforts. Could you please make a video on how to design Database schema for e-commerce app in details?
@CodeKarle Nice explanation. Since the order, payment, and inventory are managed by separate microservices, we may need distributed transactions here. Thinking about cases like we reduced the inventory but the order service failed to persist the order. It would be great to discuss this issue along with different distributed transaction algorithms (Paxos, 2PC, 3PC, Saga etc) in your next video.
Correct, SAGA is way forward here. 2PC and 3PC are quite slow in real world, besides making this process synchronized suffers from late response to the client. A better way in SAGA suggests that we provide an immediate response let the SAGA complete. Once completed or rolled back then confirm the order.
Best explanation. Though i have one doubt for "USER PURCHASE FLOW" Instead of "ORDER TAKING SERVICE" and "ORDER PROCESSING SERVICE" can't we just have one "ORDER SERVICE" (which will do 2 things take orders and view live orders) as it seems too much of separation of concern OR is it done to segregate READ and WRITE traffic? Also let "ARCHIVAL SERVICE" talk to "OMS MYSQL DB" for getting orders which are in TERMINAL State. What are your thoughts?
Thanjs for sharing this...however I feel that instead of havign everything drawn out if you had drawn each component at a time will be been better. It would have made clear your thought process and will have been less overwhelming
Sandeep... design a Recommendation System and designing a distributed key value store would help... Possible to take these up in ur upcoming videos?? BTW.. every video is awesome Sandeep.. best System design videos I have seen so far... very clear and not over the top, very precise yet very detailed.. Awesome work Sandeep..
sir, why have you stopped uploading videos, we all are enjoying your knowledge so much! Please can you upload more of such videos, it will mean a lot to all of us.
Great explanation and well organized content flow in the video. Nicely covered many components of system design. Thanks a lot for creating this video. .
Its great explanation of system. I want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory & Order databases for transactions and Cassandra for historical based queries.
Great video. Can you please do a follow up video covering OMS system built top of this architecture. Can you also discuss some tradeoff and improvement which can be done. Ex: scalability wise? Thanks.
@@codeKarle thank you. Can't wait to see your follow in-depth design. As always great content. One suggestion: can you also discuss future improvements and tradeoffs of the design and architecture for upcoming videos. I think, that's important to understand as well. Ex: If we go serverless by using lambda, stepfunction, etc
Just 1 suggestion, instead of taking these big designs, you can choose smaller things and make a series of videos, then 1 video to just stitch it. The issue I see is that we are going into some things in deep whereas some other important things seem to be missing
Great video as always. Thanks for this as it help developing thought process to architecting solution. One thing, no detail as about the Inventory service like from where it data get populated. As we have item service to keep product details. It will great if you put your thought on this to understand the flow. Inventory service is one of the service.
I want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory ? how inventory service and elastic search talk to each other
Very well explained! This is a large scale platform. If we have a medium size platform. Can we use Rabbitmq instead Kafka? If we use rabbitmq what are some changes we need to make to the Architecture?
Architecturally nothing would change. You can use rabitMQ instead of Kafka if you scale is low, but if you are not using any extra features that rabbit MQ provides I would still recommend to go with Kafka
Thanks for the quality of information you provide in your videos. I have below queries wrt Wishlist and cart services being tied to Search Service. 1) If a user adds an item to cart, the add to cart flow won't go through Search Service, right? 2) Also, user can add items from homepage or from some other flow (e.g. affiliate links) as well, so it shouldn't be tied to Search Service.
I want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory ? how inventory service and elastic search talk to each other
Hi Sandeep, Thanks for the amazing videos. They have been very helpful. Would love to see more videos coming like Designing Dropbox, Pastebin, Web Crawler etc & system design patterns.
1) I think Wishlist and cart service flow should not go via Search Service. What do you think? 2) Spark ml data should get stored in database ( druid/cassandra) to get consumed by recommendation service
You're right, the APIs to the services you meantioned would be independent anyway, just that the wishlisting/adding to cart usually is done by the users post search results are shown. That's why it follows the search results in the user journey. Functionally, they are totally independent. The recommendation logic can run as a Spark job which then then store the data in any datastore through Recommendation Service. The same service would then consume the data written in that data store to power various recommendation based functionalities.
I want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory ? how inventory service and elastic search talk to each other
Very nice explanation. Appreciate your effort. Have a question. In your design I see multiple services sharing a database. In general, it's not considered a good practice to share a database across services. Is there any specific reason/justification for sharing databases?
Usually I prefer to use one service-one DB model. Some exception to it are the usual Search flow, where I usually keep one service to support the queries of search and other service to support the data population. Intent there is to make sure I am able to scale them independently, incase the search traffic surges but the inflow remains the same. A few times I have done it in other videos as well, where one service is writing data(tweets for example) and other service is used for reading. Again the reason is to scale the read and write flows independently. Another place where I do it is where everyone is writing to Hadoop or Kafka, which I believe is not a problem. Can you please let me know which specific scenario you are referring to here so that I might be able to share the justification for that scenario.

It would be great to discuss this issue along with different distributed transaction algorithms (Paxos, 2PC, 3PC, Saga etc) in your next video.
Exactly my thoughts. As Sql doesn't provide distributed transactions, the statement made in video is little misleading
Right..Also they whole order taking journey is synchronously spanning through multiple microservices. Would that not block the customer?
Archit, Do you have idea about How ItemService communicate with InventoryService ?
Correct, SAGA is way forward here. 2PC and 3PC are quite slow in real world, besides making this process synchronized suffers from late response to the client. A better way in SAGA suggests that we provide an immediate response let the SAGA complete. Once completed or rolled back then confirm the order.

Amazing videos on system design. Thanks very much. Love your style of explanation. Are you planning to create any videos on System design of cloud storage?
Amazing video ! I had one query regarding the first LB. Should API gateway be used for first LB shown in diagram which will take requests from users?
He has abstracted that. It should be API gateway and load balancer behind that.
@@coolchippy , Do you have idea about How ItemService communicate with InventoryService ?
@@coolchippy want to know one thing. In which kind of use cases item database mongo-db will be used? as We have already search engine DB for searching items, inventory & Order databases for transactions and Cassandra for historical based queries.
@@aashishsawant3150 Item database is for storing item details, description, images, url, etc. Each item will be different so no-sql is the best way to store. Everytime you open an item page on the portal, ItemService will be used to fetch item details.
@@aashishsawant3150 ItemService is for fetching item details and InventoryService is for checking if item quantity is available to fulfill the order.
