X (Twitter) System Design

Practice designing a system to handle millions of concurrent users posting tweets, retweets, and replies while maintaining low latency and high availability, like X (formerly Twitter).

Interview Details

Prepare to dive into a System Design Mock Interview modeled after real interview rounds at FAANG+ companies and other leading tech firms. In this session, you’ll design the architecture of a large-scale social media platform like X, focusing on scalability, high availability, and low-latency content delivery. The interview simulates a real System Design round, challenging you to define, design, and discuss a platform capable of supporting millions of concurrent users, real-time feeds, and robust content moderation. Expect a blend of conceptual reasoning, detailed technical exploration, and scenario-based challenges.

What You'll Practice:

  • Structuring and communicating end-to-end system architectures clearly.
  • Designing scalable, fault-tolerant systems for content posting, timelines, and user interactions.
  • Applying System Design principles to API design, database selection, caching, and messaging pipelines.
  • Creating clear, well-organized diagrams to illustrate system components, data flow, and interactions.
  • Thinking critically about trade-offs in latency, consistency, availability, and moderation under interview pressure.

By the end of this System Design Mock Interview, you’ll be ready to confidently approach system design interviews for large-scale social media platforms, showcasing strong architectural thinking and problem-solving skills.
