How to start with distributed systems? The basics of software engineering at scale.

Systems design is the use of computer engineering principles to build large scale distributed systems. It involves converting business problems and requirements into technical solutions. Senior engineers use system design patterns to make reliable, scalable and maintainable systems.

We mention 10 tips/terms used by engineers when designing systems:

1) Vertical scaling - 00:38
2) Preprocessing using cron jobs - 01:07
3) Backup servers - 01:31
4) Horizontal scaling - 02:12
5) Microservices - 02:37
6) Distributed Systems - 04:00
7) Load Balancing - 05:24
8) Decoupling - 06:39
9) Logging and metrics calculation - 07:15
10) Extensibility - 07:45
11) Low level system design - 08:38
