Systems Workshop

After completing the systems workshop these are some things that you should try and remember if you ever get into a systems based interview.

  1. Use a simple app where you can draw rectangles to represent the components of the app and the arrows to connect the components automatically are joined, Miro is a great app for this
  2. The database is often where slow downs can occur, solved problem in terms of the app and scaling, just throw more RAM and CPU at box, difficult problem is database, database shard or also looking at having fast read database like Dynamo, can also autoscale with Dynamo
