In the video, I discussed how Grab manages millions of food and Mart orders daily, focusing on the critical database infrastructure. I explored the high-level architecture of Grab's order platform, emphasizing high availability, stability, and performance at scale. Additionally, I introduced a system design course with a practical approach for engineers to learn real-world system building. The key points covered Grab's design goals of stability, cost-effectiveness, and consistency, along with the architecture of transactional and analytical databases using DynamoDB and MySQL.
