<p>So, how do you go about learning to design a system?</p>
<p><em>” Like most great questions, it showed a level of naivety that was breathtaking. The only short answer I could give was, essentially, that you learned how to design a system by designing systems and finding out what works and what doesn’t work.”
Jim Waldo, Sun Microsystems, On System Design</em></p>

<p>As software and hardware systems have multiple moving parts, we need to think about how those parts will grow, their failure modes, their inter-dependencies, how it will impact the users and the business.</p>
<p>There is no one-shot method or way to learn or do system design, we only learn to design systems by designing and iterating on them.</p>
<p>This course will be a starter to make one think about scalability, availability, and fault tolerance during systems design.</p>
