Hi Product Hunt! 👋I’m Rishabh, and I’m a Software Engineer who has spent a lot of time navigating the complexities of distributed systems at scale. Why I built learnsystemdesign.in: Most system design resources fall into two camps: they are either too academic and theoretical, or they focus solely on 'cracking the interview' without explaining how things actually work in production. I wanted to bridge that gap.System design isn't just about drawing boxes and arrows; it’s about understanding the trade-offs that keep high-traffic systems alive. I built this to be the resource I wish I had when I was starting my journey into architecture—practical, deep, and focused on real-world application. Inside, you’ll find: Deep Dives: Breaking down complex components like load balancers, databases, and caching layers. Case Studies: How massive platforms handle billions of requests. The 'Why' Factor: Why we choose $A$ over $B$ even when $B$ looks better on paper. I’d love for the PH community to check it out! I’m here all day to answer your questions, talk shop about distributed systems, or hear your feedback on what topics we should cover next.What’s the one system design concept that still keeps you up at night? Let’s discuss below! 👇
