Hello! I've noticed product managers (like myself) spending hours watching system design videos for software engineers, get confused with technical jargon, spiral, and spend 10x more time studying. In this video, I wanted to share the framework that worked for me when studying for system design interviews, along with a sample solution to "Design Google Calendar." This video is part 1/2 of the system design series, where in my next video I cover all the technical concepts you need to know to answer system design interviews (so the technical jargon is easier to understand) so hope you enjoy this series :))) Feel free to drop any questions below! In this video, I cover: 00:16: agenda 00:34: what are system design questions? 00:46: system design framework 03:04: sample solution: understand product and scope 04:29: sample solution: functional & non-functional requirements 08:40: sample solution: high-level architecture 16:07: sample solution: system design deep dive 18:47: sample solution: trade-offs 20:11: outro Thanks for watching! ⇀ [email protected] ⇀ https://www.linkedin.com/in/racheal-ou
