Work through realistic system-design rounds — from URL shorteners to feed ranking — with follow-ups that probe consistency, throughput, failure modes, and cost.
Sample questions
These are the kinds of questions you'll drill. Real mock rounds will generate many more — tailored to the exact JD you paste in.
Design a URL shortener that handles 10k writes/sec and 100k reads/sec.
How would you build a notification system that guarantees at-least-once delivery?
Walk me through your approach to a design question you've never seen before.
What trade-offs would you make between strong and eventual consistency here?
Reading System Design questions isn't the same as answering them live. You need the rep — the pause, the clarifying question, the moment where you realize you forgot the framework. We put you in that exact spot, then show you what a strong answer would have looked like.
