I reckon this will become the best system design channel in youtube. Keep up the good work !

This is the level of details that helps in real interviews. Thanks!

It was an awesome video. Thank you very much!
Some friendly suggestions:
1. Data models could be added (KV stores, data size, replication and sharding)
2. Instead of specific technology names, generic names could be used. "Queue" instead of Kafka, "NoSQL database" instead of Cassandra
3. Geospatial index could be mentioned

I banged the first AWS interview and Meta interview in one go. Thanks for the detailed explanation! Not sure if you are active anymore, but you deserve lot more followers than what you have.

While preparing for interviews for experienced level, one can agree that system design level is the deciding round many times. I also used to struggle in these rounds and hence searched hell lot of resources to understand the concept but nowhere found satisfying result. This is the only channel where I started seeing patterns in designs, role of different components, out of the box solutions and no-fancy/complex components/logic.
Designs explained are so simple that after going through few designs, any one can start creating boxes and understand flows between them while approaching to a new problem.

I have watched quite a lot of system design videos from different sources, and this by far, exceeds most of them in technical depth and breadth. It's not too academic and neither too complex, well done! I am recommending this channel to my peers.

This is brilliant but Im kinda surprised you didnt mention quad trees. They are the standard way to solve problems like this.

Discussion around - Disputed areas, last bit of inferences like pub goers are social etc..was icing on the cake!!!

After 2 years, still an amazing video!

This was on its way to become the best sys design channel on Youtube but why did you stop making videos? All other channels just have scattered information and no clarity of thought. Can you start making videos again and cover more systems asked in interviews? It will be of great help to budding software engineers!

[atintandon]

Very smart to include discussion of disputed areas in this video

[meganfoxyish]

Great Effort to put all the complex pieces together. As we all agree google maps is one of the complex designs in the world and you have done justice to explain this is best possible way. Great Effort.

[rohitvishwakarma]

Thanks for keeping the explanations simple. I have seen some videos where people just bombard with jargons reducing interest.

[ravbhaj]

Very comprehensive!!
Liked the "Summary of this video" too.

[gunchoi]

You are pretty smart! Thank you for your videos. I am learning it out of curiosity

[intuitive_coder]

Great level of details are captured, Thanks for creating this video.

It would be nice to have details on how we would store huge data set of map service, and how we would enable quick update on this dataset.

[andriidanylov]

Very strong presentation. Actually the best what I have seen about this topic. Appreciate.

Is this series completed? It was a great series... Keep it going man!!!

[vivekkushwaha]

Sorry if this sounds basic, but I'm new to system design and still learning. Can you explain why you didn't save which user is linked to which WebSocket handler at 41:35 in the video? You mentioned polling for this info, but where does it come from exactly? Is it from the WebSocket handler itself?

By the way, great video! 🙌 I really learned a lot from it and appreciate your work!

[ektabhalwara]

This was an amazing explanation!!! I request you to please post a video about LinkedIn System Design as well. Good Work!!!
