This is a beginner-friendly self-paced course on system design aimed at providing an exclusive and crisp introduction to building systems. The program will cover most of the topics under System Design and Software Architecture from scratch assuming no prior knowledge.
Introduction
Databases
Caching
Asynchronous Systems
Resiliency
Essentials
Consumer Facing
Common Utilities
Critical Systems
The course operates at a beginner-level and hence does not assume any prior knowledge of system design. We would start with absolute basics and then scale up to build real-world systems in a very structured way. By the way, following are the pre-requisite for this course
Some formal/informal messages I received about this course.
The primary objective of this program is to make you comfortable at building scalable, fault-tolerant, and reliable systems. But here is what you could reap out of it.
The course will make you comfortable at designing any system, no matter how stringent the requirements are.
Learn some of the most interesting concepts, super-clever algorithms, and sophisticated architectures. You are bound to have mind-blown moments.
Learn the designing paradigms and upskill yourself to accelerate your career growth and stand out.
People from all over the world have mastered System Design through my other System Design course meant for experienced engineers.
Folks belonging to some of the best companies and high thriving startups have taken my intermediate system design course, the list includes the likes of
Here are some of the videos that will give you a peek into my teaching style how I teach and the depth I go into
I am a software engineer and an engineering leader passionate about System Architecture, Databases Internals, Language Internals, and Advanced Algorithms. I am the creator and maintainer of DiceDB - a database hyper-optimized to build real-time applications with its SQL-based reactivity.
In 2024, I took the leap of faith and co-founded Profile.fyi, where I am operating as the CTO taking care of all things tech. Before this, I was a Staff Engineer at Google leading the Dataproc India team in providing a managed big data ecosystem to GCP customers. I was also part of Amazon's Fast Data Team and took care of cold tiering of hot data and providing a seamless query interface across all tiers.
I held engineering leadership positions (both IC and management) at Unacademy, where I built, grew, and led Search, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, and Data Engineering teams. I hold a total of 10+ years of experience in scaling backend services, taking products and teams from 0 to 1, and beyond.
I keep diving deep into engineering details and share my learnings by across my socials and videos on YouTube.
Some testimonials from the people who recently took my courses.
One thing I can guarantee that after this course you can read any kind of system design book/blog with confidence and you will be able to relate to Arpits classes in someway or the other, also Arpit designed the course in such a way that you will be able to relate to previous classes and bring out patters in solving problems. My best investment ever :)
Had a super fun in learning how to learn and think system design. I am already using Arpit's teachings at my work, and I don't think anything more needs to be said.
It's easy to throw jargons and assume that a system can be built. But then keeping things simple and starting from the basics, the approach to be taken, taking baby steps, and then heading towards a direction is indeed best taught by Arpit. Plus, his enthusiasm!
Arpit is a passionate individual who teaches one of best system design course, his explanation comes from real implementation and exposure to the problem. He makes sure that individuals develop critical thinking when approaching system design.
I would highly recommend his course for any one who tries to build systems to scale.
You can always drop me an email at arpit.masterclass@gmail.com for other questions.
The entire course is taught in english and all doubt solving sessions will be conducted in english.
No. This is a recorded self-paced course with bi-weekly doubt solving sessions with me.
Masterclass and Beginner course are mutually exclusive. Beginner course is for absolute beginners and starts things from scratch. Masterclass assumes you have some understanding of systems and we take it forward from there. There will be very minimal overlaps in the topics I cover in the two courses. In general, if you have some understanding of systems and have watched existing system design videos, go for the masterclass. If you want to start from absolute scratch then opt for beginner one.
This course is for any engineer who wants to get started with System Design. If you are a college student or a working professional wanting to start with System Design, this course is for you.
No. But the discussion will be strictly related to topics discussed and covered in the course.
Yes. I will be teaching the entire course.
No. The course is focussed on High Level Design only.
It is not possible to implement every system; it is recommended that you self-implement the system and understand the low-level details. The course will definitely cover systems from every aspect.
Yes. You will have lifetime access to the recordings of the course.
3 days no-questions-asked refund window from the date of course purchase (11:59:59 pm on the 3rd day from the date of purchase).
No. I hold complete right to cut-off the access to any course material if I find you sharing course material, learning, videos, and notes on social platforms or the internet.
The entire course will be conducted by me, Arpit Bhayani, no external TAs, mentors, etc. You will get to learn everything from the horse's mouth.
There are no programming pre-requisites, but having a basic idea is always better.
My System Design Masterclass is an intermediate-level course and hence assumes you know basic system design. This course assumes nothing and will ramp you up on everything you should know about it.
Yes. The kind of depth which is touched in this System Design is unmatched. Even if you have watched all the System Design videos out there, you will still have moments that will blow your mind.
Yes. An invoice will be issued to you with all the legal and necessary details. This means your employer can choose to process this invoice and provide reimbursement.
I do not generate the certificate for every candidate, but if you need it, just drop me a message, and I will issue one right away.
Yes, we support Credit Card, Debit Card, UPI, and Credit Card based EMIs having a duration of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months as offered by Razorpay.
I track the browsers and devices from which the course is being accessed and if I fnd anything suspicious, I hold the complete right to revoke the access of the course and not offer any refund.
