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: performance problem (slow for a single user) or scalability problem (fast for a single user but slow under heavy load) by reviewing some design principles. You can also check some talks of engineers from tech giants to see how they build and scale 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.

If you are preparing for a System Design interview 🌊

Checking out some interview notes and real-world architectures with completed diagrams to get a comprehensive view before designing your system on whiteboard. Good luck 🍀

🐣 My baby chick love bugs 🐛! Some bugs may exist here as I often craft this project in Starbuck; under a remix of jazz, 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! Quoc-Binh Nguyen
