Notes

• System Design Fundamentals — core trade-offs (CAP, PACELC), load balancing, CDN, and back-of-envelope estimation
• Distributed Systems — consistency models, consensus (Raft/Paxos), replication strategies, and saga pattern
• Scalability Patterns — horizontal scaling, sharding, fan-out, rate limiting, and circuit breakers
