Hi, I've 1.5 yoe and my onsite with Amazon is in about 2 weeks. Which one should I buy to prepare for system design round? I feel this is my weakest part.
Save 80 dollars and read this https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer/blob/master/README.md
I bought grok king and it's a waste of money. It doesn't go into depth and uses the same recipe to solve all the problems.
For 1.5 YOE, their expectations will be quite low for system design. Grokking or system design primer will be more than enough.
Watch videos on YouTube about system design.
Designing Data Intensive Applications is awesome, & I believe everyone interested in distributed systems should read it. I doubt you can do justice to it in just 2 weeks though.
YouTube videos should be good enough..dm if you need any help
Which videos are you referring to?
If you’re applying for SDE1, they won’t interview on system design
Not true
System Design Primer
I plan to go through that but not sure if it is enough
That is huge and quite comprehensive. i bought Klepmann’s book and its quite heavy — I would recommend it for understanding system design over long periods of time and not for short term prep
