This video is rare and brilliant. I have struggled to find legit resources to improve my System Design ability but I felt I was missing major or core stuff. Thank you Utsav for sharing these. Really appreciate it
People can search resources themselves but you encourage people to learn hard way from basics . That is what makes this different . Thanks for finding time to share these amazing videos.
Super helpful and not many tech TH-camrs gives out the secret like you do ! so much appreciative of that as a beginner in the industry! one of the best line you wrote (somewhere in comment) that is so relatable is "Be interested in Architecture and Read, Read and Read!"
Hi Utsav, I have a question. Do you go through each and every concept in these books? It seems pretty time-consuming to go over each topic in books and implement it. I see many TH-camrs recommend multiple books when it's time to learn something new. I always wonder how they find time to actually read the book and do an implement out it. From my experience, I do not understand the books right away until I actually implement them in a real-world scenario.
This is the greatest video I have ever saw on System design, so logical and well prepared with top information about where to start Thank you mate so much for your mindset
Seeing a mock interview is like seeing the solution but reading stuff about system design and tackling the problem by my own only can make me better at it... thanks for reinforcing this fact super useful video cos I want to first learn about the nitty gitty details then solve problems... thanks!
Your content is golden! Always relevant and to the point, Thanks a lot. Most others make it like as if its as easy as watching 30min videos and thats it but no it is _hard_ you have to read, understand, apply, rinse repeat thats how you become resilient and experienced.
Thanks for the wonderful information. I'm a Data Analyst with some eng chops considering making a lateral move, this made me realize how much there is to learn!
I just graduated this year and started working in the software industry, your videos have helped tremendously, will definitely read the Web scalability for Startup Engineers to get started. Great video as always! 😄
This video is it! I really appreciate you going through these books in the order you did. It’s hard to take a lot of topics and learn them in a logical way but this video helps me with that. Thanks again!
The best books recommended out here thanks a lot for this Utsav..! I would like to add 2 more books!. Clean Architecture by Robert Martin..! Building Cloud Native Microservices! DDD is great ...but I wish to understand how to understand the domain.. Conceptually... the terminology may be understood, when to apply what may also be understood.. But the problem we face is how to start the system design when asked in ghe interviews.. Web UI, Database design, Application design.. High level design, Low level design.. How to approach when we are asked anything about any unfamiliar domain.. That too in the specific period of time... This is the specific thing I would like to learn from you..! My humble request to help us understand the same . Thanks, -Pankaj.
Can you explain how your read these books? Like do you go to the topics that you happen to need at the time or just go cover to cover? Also how long does it take for you to churn through these?
One more great video. Can you make a video on how you manage your time in learning tech and reading books? For me it's kind of a long time taking process , it will be great to get your advice.
Great material. Straight to the point. Have a question on system design interview pattern for embedded software/firmware engineers with little or no experience on scalable/distributed systems. Could you please throw some light on it? There aren't good resources online explaining what is expected for a senior or above senior engineer for system design interviews with this background. Much appreciated for any help.
I included two books for Low Level Design in the description as well. I had a section about it in the video, but since this was getting too long, had to cut it :(
6:49 I thought that was the whole point of web technologies: Convert bugs that you formerly detected at compile time into bugs that your customers detect at run time.
Hi Utsav, I stumbled upon this video and finally found someone who was focused on developing the knowledge, intuition and the habit of 'why' of things. On a different note, do you have a video for a beginner in guitar playing? Coming from you, it would be cool I guess :)
Love the recommendations!!! Thank you! Can you give recommend some books to get start with "mobile apps" design architecture ? covers things like modularization, design patterns, networking, etc. Really appreciate your response 🙏🏻

Sir which resource would be the best to learn by doing, like the books you showed are mostly theoretical, but what resource to refer, for eg - if I want to build something using Python and orchestrate the containers, where we cache using Redis, make a message queue etc.
You need to build the foundational knowledge before you start building systems. But if you just care to jump into code with microservices, I'd recommend starting with the two microservices book I recommended.
Hello, Utsavized. Thanks for sharing your tips about books. It helped me a lot. I have a question regardin relational databases. Do you know any good book teaching all SQL and Database theory like left joins and stuff with some entities relationship (I mean One to many and many to many stuff). I'm struggling to find a book that teachs not just the SQL theory but with a backend Entity perspective. Hope you understand what I mean. Thank you once again and congratiulations for your videos.
It's extremely basic. Will give you a rough idea about how the interviews are any what to expect, but other than for entry level positions, it is pretty much useless. Vague, too basic, no follow up questions, and even some of the solutions themselves are questionable.
When do you think is a good time to start learning about system design? I am a 2nd year university student and we haven't really gotten into any systems design material at all. Do I need to get good at DSA first?
Let me think... since I dont work right now and make TH-cam videos to help you guys out ... I actually lose about 300 dollars on subscriptions and stock music/footage 😂
This was one of the top videos I was waiting to see if you'd do. Great real suggestions/advice on systems design too. I find a lot of systems design advice online is more lightweight stuff aimed at interview basics. I like the layered approach you've been taking lately in book recommendations from first-pass through in-depth material. Hope to see you keep taking that approach going forward. : )
One thing I have learned that has helped me build a starting point to understanding the flow of Systems Design is understanding the OSI model. The fact that each layer can only go one above or one below is a perfect way of understanding how to flow data from client to server. Also, understanding that no matter the system design problem, you are ultimately reducing that complex problem to determining the most efficient way to get data from client to server back to the client also helps. I have learned to try to relate each system design problem to the OSI model from layer 7 to layer 4 at a minimum and that has helped define my systems design 'blueprint'
Awesome video buddy. I think being a CTO at a small startup, has helped me the most at getting better at system design, and mostly everything was learned through issues and problems I encounter.
Books I liked: The Practical Guide to Structured Systems Design - Meilir Page-Jones; Modern Structured Analysis - Edward Yourdon; Complete Systems Analysis - James & Suzanne Robertson; Developing Structured Systems - Brian Dickinson. Old School
Hi utsav, I am with a eee background... I don't know much about OS concepts. So, are the books you suggested in this video help me understand the system design? Can you suggest something to me before starting the system design concepts...
You can't really cover much about them talking briefly ... they are complex topics and generally venture into the "tutorial" realm. That's what the books are for :)
I have a question. There are so many system design questions, which again involves low level coding too. It's getting too much while preparing. So many topics so cannot prepare in-depth for each topic.. Is this happening with all, how to deal with this.?
This is an awesome video, lots of reading is waiting! Thanks for that great recommendation and thorough yet simple of the direction one should head. You talked about some blogs in the video but I couldn't find anything listed, can you share them? That'd be awesome.
Been following your channel from when you stated the channel. Lot of honest opinion about your experience.BTW How do you get to read a lot of books. Tips would be much appreciated :✌️

Thank you mate so much for your mindset
This channel is one of the best channels I have discovered so far. Can we have a video on design patterns?
Maybe in the future. Thanks!
Please make a series of Problem Solving Technique, we want to learn the intuition, BTW I love what you do.
I have one already ... but many people did not watch it ... maybe I will add a few eventually if there is enough demand.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav May be you could do a series of episodes with smaller videos.
Hard to find time but will definitely read before my interview, thanks🤘
Thanks for the great suggestions! Now I just need to find the time to read all of them :D
It's a lot of reading ... :)

Probably best advice i got regarding system design interview. Appreciate it!
Timing is perfect, I was looking for system design material. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Your content is genuinely useful , I am following your DS and algorithms book recommendation and I am enjoying that
Dude you have nailed it and brutally .. awesome good work
The best books recommended out here thanks a lot for this Utsav..!
I would like to add 2 more books!.
Clean Architecture by Robert Martin..!
Building Cloud Native Microservices!
DDD is great ...but I wish to understand how to understand the domain..
Conceptually... the terminology may be understood, when to apply what may also be understood..
But the problem we face is how to start the system design when asked in ghe interviews..

I have a few videos explaining that
@@EngineeringwithUtsav then i am going to check'em , thank mentor
Utsav, make a video about your guitars!
Great material. Straight to the point. Have a question on system design interview pattern for embedded software/firmware engineers with little or no experience on scalable/distributed systems. Could you please throw some light on it? There aren't good resources online explaining what is expected for a senior or above senior engineer for system design interviews with this background. Much appreciated for any help.
For embedded, look up low level design (LLD). You won’t need distributed systems.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav Thanks. Any good reference/material pertaining to LLD for interview prep?
Excellent video #Utsav thanks for doing such great work for the community
We are blessed to have a youtuber like u sir
Would like to know about Object oriented design as well.
I included two books for Low Level Design in the description as well. I had a section about it in the video, but since this was getting too long, had to cut it :(
@@EngineeringwithUtsav Just saw it now. Thanks for it👍
6:49 I thought that was the whole point of web technologies: Convert bugs that you formerly detected at compile time into bugs that your customers detect at run time.
Solid video Utsav! Much love from London bro.
Thanks a lot Utsav. Was waiting for exactly this when I contacted you.
Thank you for your useful recommandations
Can you pls add all these book videos in one playlist that would be really helpful :)
They are in a playlist.
I must say thank you to you for the immense help
Very motivational. And also defines a proper starting point for the path of learning System Design. Thanks for making the video
You really know what I am looking for everytime.. Thanks mate 👍
Awesome and brilliant video Man! Thank you so much.
This is a real wisdom. Really good content man.
Thank You, very fine grained.
Where are recommended courses?
Hey, thank you mate!
Great content man, subscribed!
When you hold the fan meeting?
Hi Utsav, I stumbled upon this video and finally found someone who was focused on developing the knowledge, intuition and the habit of 'why' of things. On a different note, do you have a video for a beginner in guitar playing? Coming from you, it would be cool I guess :)

Hi, thank you for such great content. Can you make a video about testing at your available time ?
Thanks beforehand
This was very informative, thank you.
Where is the java code for system design
any recommendations for node.js ecosystem?

@@EngineeringwithUtsav Thanks for taking time to reply sir.
Thanks for the such detailed info! @Utsav
Great video provide a link also
In the description
Pls suggest some conferences that covers system design.
No one covers system design as a topic. They cover parts systems that make up the knowledge ... check out InfoQ.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav hmm.. ok
thank you!

Thank you once again and congratiulations for your videos.
Books are language/and DB specific. You will need to search that way
I really love your content, very useful. Thanks a lot!! What do you think about the course Grokking the System Design Interview ?
It's extremely basic. Will give you a rough idea about how the interviews are any what to expect, but other than for entry level positions, it is pretty much useless. Vague, too basic, no follow up questions, and even some of the solutions themselves are questionable.
When do you think is a good time to start learning about system design? I am a 2nd year university student and we haven't really gotten into any systems design material at all. Do I need to get good at DSA first?
Anytime you can wrap your head around it is a good time to start.
This man needs to be protected at all cost
So now a guitarist gonna teach Cs👍
I can teach guitars too 🤷🏼♂️😂
How much money you make annualy
Let me think... since I dont work right now and make TH-cam videos to help you guys out ... I actually lose about 300 dollars on subscriptions and stock music/footage 😂
Found this system design playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLmtNcpUq3YIJequI5FneNkiEGiHmwm3_o.html
Good job removing the guitars, they are distracting while watching you. The room new setup is great (ref: 5 Feb 2021 video).
Haha yeah, even for me :)

Which device you used to read books, In our country not easy to find hard form of book
Hi!
Do you read on the ipad? what application do you use ?
Very pragmatic approach. Thank you. 🙏
Can anyone tell what is that book reader at 10:33
So much to learn
So little time 🤯
thank you
Great video! A video of what you have going on on the iPad and tool you are using to draw those diagrams would be cool.
Awesome video buddy. I think being a CTO at a small startup, has helped me the most at getting better at system design, and mostly everything was learned through issues and problems I encounter.
This channel is so underrated. Thanks for advice and sharing your experience.
Want to see you playing some riffs :D

Found something concrete which will give enough knowledge to understand system design
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World sixth edition
Can you talk briefly about microservices world like gateways, kubernates, gcp, aws etc..
You can't really cover much about them talking briefly ... they are complex topics and generally venture into the "tutorial" realm. That's what the books are for :)
GREAT VIDEO SIR
LOVE YOUR CONTENT.......
When I can read this book
I'am learning C now, and want to be backend developer
What is the difference between systems design and distributed systems?
I have a question. There are so many system design questions, which again involves low level coding too. It's getting too much while preparing. So many topics so cannot prepare in-depth for each topic.. Is this happening with all, how to deal with this.?
Video coming soon.
Thank you so much!!
This is an awesome video, lots of reading is waiting! Thanks for that great recommendation and thorough yet simple of the direction one should head.
You talked about some blogs in the video but I couldn't find anything listed, can you share them? That'd be awesome.
Those are company-specific engineering blogs. So any company you are interested in, just search for their engineering blogs.
Been following your channel from when you stated the channel. Lot of honest opinion about your experience.BTW How do you get to read a lot of books. Tips would be much appreciated :✌️
I’ve answered this in a ton of my videos already
