"This is the quickest, most comprehensive way to get interview ready in a practical fashion. DDIA is gold but takes a long time, has a lot of non-interview information and doesn't give you practical interview abilities. Watching youtube videos is great for comfort and confidence but lends itself to mimicry and shallow knowledge. Question centric books are also great but reading answers can only go so far, and they still don't tie together the patterns behind the answers.
System Design School explains comprehensively the fundamental concepts you need to know behind these problems, ties them in to concrete and replicable patterns and enables you to practice every part of the interview on the platform.
It's definitively the best platform for system design on the internet and I wouldn't have gotten a meta offer without it."

Frequently Asked Questions

How is System Design School different from other resources?

1) A structured course. Most resources give you separate write-ups of single problems. We teach the concepts first, then the design templates and patterns that you can use on new problems.
2) Practice with feedback. You design a system yourself in the interactive problems and codelabs. The AI grader then gives feedback on your answer.

Is the subscription worth the cost?

The entry plan costs about $0.12 per day. It is most useful if you have a system design interview coming up and want to practice, not only read. Read the free articles first to see if the teaching style works for you. If you subscribe and it does not help, every paid plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. You can cancel your subscription on the Settings page. You keep access until the end of the current billing cycle.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Every paid plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. If the plan does not help you, contact us within 7 days for a full refund.
