System Design & Architecture: Practice Exams

Writing an algorithm that works on your local laptop is a great start. But what happens to that algorithm when 10 million users try to run it at the exact same second? Welcome to the System Design Architecture practice assessments! The System Design interview is the ultimate gatekeeper for mid-level and senior engineering roles. Top tech companies don't just want coders; they want architects who can design fault-tolerant, highly available, and globally distributed systems without burning through the server budget.This comprehensive practice test course provides you with 200 realistic, highly technical questions modeled directly after the conceptual design scenarios given in elite engineering interviews. Across these four rigorous practice exams, you will be thrown into high-stakes architectural challenges. You will determine how to structure the database for a global video streaming platform, decouple background processing for a high-frequency trading engine, and implement rate limiting to protect an e-commerce checkout API from DDoS attacks.The questions in this course cut through basic coding syntax and dive straight into massive architectural trade-offs. You will be challenged on the brutal realities of the CAP Theorem, the complexities of database sharding, and the operational overhead of migrating to microservices. If you are aiming for a senior developer title, preparing to architect a massive application from scratch, or simply wanting to understand how companies like Netflix and Uber scale their infrastructure, this is your ultimate testing ground.
