System Design Interview - Distributed Message Queue

On the system design topic, video very in-depth and concrete explanation on how to navigate successfully through the system design interviews. Thank you for this tutorial! ❤❤

pro tip: mute the bad accent and turn on subtitles

this is the best video for systems design I've ever watched. I listened to it at 50% speed to write down every word whereas I usually watch YT vids at 1.5x -- each sentence was invaluable.

wow! This is so to the point and even the duration of the video is as good as an actual interview discussion! Touched so many "must know" topics!

Thanks

I am actually a little bit confused with the 'FrontEnd Service'. Can someone clarify a little bit ? Is this a web-server ( back-end ) which is serving some GUI (front-end), but also handling the other things ( Auth, TLS, Caching, etc. ) Or it's labeling as 'front-end' comes because it's the first service hit from the clients ( but it's actually a back-end )?

can't thank you enough for this video. All of these components are building blocks and the interviewer can dig deep as to how the requests are handled from client to server. Awesome video

isnt outcluster same as meta data service as they help in getting to know which clutster the message corresponding to a queue id goes?

Each word in this video is a golden word. Make sure you don't skip or neglect it. Thank you so much

nice content

Finally finished going through your videos. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the video! I wish there was more of a deep-dive into where to store the data - you said memory + file system, but how exactly? is it an async process? cheers!

Very helpful! Another super effective way to prepare system design interviews: Do mock interviews with FAANG engineers at Meetapro.

any reason that we don't have more content uploaded here? is the author busy?

Amazing video series that goes beyond high level fluff, thank you so much!

How does DNS know which loader balance to direct the request to? Doesn't it make DNS take the responsibility of LB itself?

But for a senior position, we need to either explain how to build a distributed database (and we promise you a separate video on this) ----- 😢 I need， where is it

I bought your course. Arguably the best investment I made for system design courses so far. Thanks for putting together contents and explaining them so lucidly. I look forward to other two modules.

I'm confused about SSL termination + encryption. In my mind they are doing opposite things so I'm surprised we are doing both. Are we just decrypting the message and then encrypting again?

Great video. .. can some one elaborate how deduplication is handled?

This is the best content on system design I've ever seen. Please consider resuming the journey! We'd love to ride along!

Please make more videos..ur videos are gem

This was the first video I'd seen from this channel. This is some next-level system design content. Way more in-depth than other videos I've seen. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there have been any recent uploads, which is really too bad.

Awesome Content, Thanks a ton :)

Hi Mikhail, Others



Not sure whether you will see this or not, but wanted to ask one thing. If I try to design gmail using a similar architecture outlined above then

1. Whether the Metadata server will store time, sender, size etc? While the backend store will store the actual mail?
2. Can the MD Server( No SQL with a Cache/façade in front) organized in a consistent hash ring using the User name( through hash) as primary key?
3. If 2 is correct how do I display the most recent mails? Seems I need to sort the data stored in a node, when to do it? Where and how to store it?
4. If I sort based on time and store in a distributed cache and then I want to sort by size how can I do it, Will the Frontend Service help on this? Does No SQL allows this kind of queries?
5. How will I know Which Backend Storage store the mail? Is there a mapping exists between MD server and Backend Cluster?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! Old Bro!

Your videos are Superb !
Most useful videos on System design.
Please start making more videos like this !
More on each component details which helps in System design :) !

Isn't "FrontEnd Service" is something we call API Gateway?

Why do we need a out-cluster manager if metadata service can get a mapping between queue and cluster?

brilliant video

how we are maintaining order of messages in the queue?

Very good content. Enjoyed going through the video. Thank you. Hope you continue this series

Amazing content

This video is great quality. I think sequential writes should have been suggested in the video. This seems to me the best way to achieve high throughput.

Thank you for great quality content. Excellent explanation, I can't miss single word.

Why the series is stopped? Any other resources would you recommend?

Please do more if you can :) excellent content

Awesome content!

Big thanks for the videos, great material !

These videos are best resource among all I have gone through. I am surprised, why this channel is not posting any more videos. Good Work and thank you !

Wow this is great stuff!

Hey Jordan
It’s almost 2 years we are waiting for your videos. I hope you’re fine?

I am expecting you write a SD book that gives us the same amount of useful information as here. outstanding job!
