-# High Scalability, High Availability, High Stability, High Performance, and High Intelligence System Design Patterns
+# Scalable, Available, Stable, Performant, and Intelligent System Design Patterns
 
-An updated and curated list of selected readings to illustrate best practices in building high scalability, high availability, high stability, high performance, and high intelligence large-scale systems. Concepts are explained in the articles of prominent engineers and credible references. Case studies are taken from battle-tested systems that serve millions to billions of users.

 #### If your system goes slow :traffic_light:
 > Understand your problems: scalability problem (fast for a single user but slow under heavy load) or performance problem (slow for a single user) by reviewing some [design principles](#principle) and checking how [scalability](#scalability) and [performance](#performance) problems are solved at tech companies. The section of [intelligence](#intelligence) are created for those who work with data and machine learning at big (data) and deep (learning) scale.
