Step into a realistic system design interview where you'll architect Reddit, a scalable, community-driven discussion platform. You'll be challenged to design features like post creation, commenting, voting, real-time feeds, and robust moderation, all while ensuring your solution can handle millions of users and dynamic content. The session mirrors the structure and rigor of top-tier tech interviews, guiding you through requirements gathering, high-level architecture, and deep dives into APIs, databases, and trade-offs.

Get ready to sharpen your design thinking as you answer probing questions, justify your choices, and illustrate your ideas using diagrams. The interview progresses logically, testing your ability to adapt, reason through curveballs, and defend your decisions under pressure.

• You'll practice:
  • Defining and prioritizing functional and non-functional requirements for a large-scale social platform.
  • Designing high-level and detailed architectures, including data storage, caching, and real-time updates.
  • Justifying technology choices and handling scalability, consistency, and moderation challenges.
  • Communicating your design visually and verbally, as in real interviews.

By the end, you'll be better equipped to tackle system design interviews for complex platforms, confidently explain your architectural decisions, and handle tough follow-up questions.
