High Scalability, High Availability, High Stability, High Performance, and High Intelligence Back-end Designs

An updated and curated list of selected readings to illustrate High Scalability, High Availability, High Stability, High Performance, and High Intelligence Back-end Designs. Concepts are explained in the articles of notable engineers and credible references. Case studies are taken from battle-tested systems those are serving millions to billions of users.

If your Back-end went slow 🚥

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, then checking how scalability and performance problems are solved in tech giants. The section of intelligence are created for those who work with data and machine learning at big (data) and deep (learning) scale. Also, you can check some talks of elite engineers to know how they build, scale, and optimize their systems.

If your Back-end went down 🚧

"Even if you lose all one day, you can build all over again if you retain your calm!" - Thuan Pham, Vietnamese refugee, CTO of Uber Technologies Inc. So, keep calm and mind the availability and stability matters!

If you are having a System Design interview 🌊

Look at some interview notes and real-world architectures with completed diagrams to get a comprehensive view before designing your system on whiteboard. There are some selected books for you (most of them are free)! Good luck 🍀

🐣 My baby chicken love bugs 🐛! Some bugs may exist here as I often craft this project at cafe; under a remix of music, people noises, and the jittery caused by long black. Please let my chick know if you spotted any, and don't forget to feed him with a star 🌟! Thank You & Happy Coding! Binh Nguyen, CA 2018
