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.
What 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 design principles. You can also check some talks of elite engineers from tech giants to see how they build and scale their systems.
What 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.
For you, who is struggling through dark days 🌊
Checking those interview notes and architectures with diagrams to get a comprehensive view. Before designing your system on whiteboard, you must understand thoroughly fundamental building blocks (IPC, OSI, TCP/IP, DLM, etc). It is even better to take a course on Distributed Systems or Distributed Computing. Be brave and Keep fighting ✊ Good luck 🍀
