A visual-first reading app for system design and coding interviews. Concept modules build from the ground up, technology pages cover the systems designs name, and worked designs open with the hard part and have diagrams you can click. Outage case studies turn real postmortems into lessons, and a coding track lets you step through each algorithm as the code runs. Most of it is free. Premium adds an interview script for every design and courses on Frontend System Design and AI Engineering.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Mert. Over the last few months I've been building System Design Atlas, a visual-first way to learn system design.
Instead of walls of text, the Atlas explains architectural patterns, distributed systems concepts and real-world trade-offs with diagrams you can click into and clear walkthroughs. Every design opens with the hard part, then the architecture, the trade-offs and the follow-up questions.
What's in it:
11 concept modules, read in order, from foundations to reliability
24 worked designs, from a news feed and a rate limiter to ChatGPT and Figma, with diagrams for today's scale and 10x
16 pages on the technologies behind them (Redis, Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch, gRPC and more)
6 real outages (AWS, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Facebook, Roblox, GitHub), retold from their public postmortems as design lessons
2 courses that build one system end to end: Frontend System Design and AI Engineering
13 coding topics, hash tables to dynamic programming, that draw each algorithm as it runs
Most of it is free, with no account. Some pages and features are premium.
It's still growing. I'd love your thoughts and feedback, and any system design topics you'd like to see covered next.
